Pregnancy should be a time of joy and expectation. However, for some, it comes with unique challenges, especially when dealing with substance use. At Center Point Drug Abuse Alternative Center (DAAC), we understand these challenges deeply.
Our 12-month perinatal intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment program is a comprehensive support system that addresses not only your medical needs but also your emotional well-being. We understand your unique challenges and are here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you feel secure and cared for.
The Heart of Our Program: Culturally Attuned, Comprehensive Support
Melvy's Journey: From Client to Leader
At Center Point DAAC, we understand the unique struggles faced by pregnant women battling substance use, which is why we chose one of our former clients to lead the program.
Her journey to reach her current position as a program manager in substance use disorder treatment has been remarkable. Beginning with her education in the field, she has worked tirelessly to gain the knowledge, education, experience, and certifications necessary to progress through various positions. Her dedication, hard work, and perseverance have enabled her to climb the ranks and become a respected professional leader.
Melvy's journey is a shining example of the transformative power of our perinatal addiction treatment program. She started as a client, and through her firsthand experience and education, she now leads the program, offering empathy, guidance, and illuminating hope to women in similar situations.
Culturally Attuned Care
We take great pride in our bilingual staff and culturally sensitive services. Our team's ability to communicate in Spanish and understand cultural nuances is not just a feature but a fundamental part of our approach. It ensures that every woman, regardless of her cultural or ethnic background, feels heard, understood, and respected. We believe that establishing trust is the cornerstone of effective treatment and support.
Comprehensive Services Designed for Pregnant Women and Mother's with Children under 3
Our perinatal program is designed to provide a continuum of care that adapts to your changing needs over time. From outpatient services to more intensive care, we understand the importance of flexibility in supporting pregnant women effectively. Our relationship with local organizations like Women's Recovery Services and Athena House further enhance the network of care in Sonoma County, ensuring you can access the proper support at the right time.
Childcare During Treatment
Understanding the importance of motherhood responsibilities, we offer on-site co-op childcare for children up to three years old, enabling mothers to attend their treatment sessions without worry after the birth of their baby.
This service is crucial in enabling full participation in our 12-month program, ensuring that mothers do not have to choose between their health and their children.
More Than Just Treatment: Holistic Support and Education
Transportation and Nutritional Support
Lack of transportation can be a significant barrier to consistent care. At Center Point DAAC, we eliminate this obstacle by providing transportation services.
Additionally, we understand the importance of nutrition, especially during pregnancy. Our partnership with the local food bank ensures you and your children access healthy food to support overall wellness and recovery.
Education on Postpartum Care and Wellness
We educate our clients on critical topics, such as the effects of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) on breastfeeding.
We help women distinguish between postpartum depression (PPD) and withdrawal symptoms and general wellness practices for new mothers.
This educational component is crucial. It empowers you to make informed decisions about your and your baby's health.
Therapy, Mental Health Medication & Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
If you are struggling with any underlying menta health issues such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder, our therapists can help while you are in treatment.
Women in our perinatal program have access to our therapists who can assist you in working on underlying mental health issues that may be contributing to substance abuse or relapse. Mental health medication is available through our psychiatric nurse practitioner if needed.
Our clients have full access to our medication-assisted treatment outpatient clinic which provides the leading evidence-based medications for substance use disorders including Vivitrol, Sublocade, Brixadi, Naltrexone, and Methadone. Some medications may not be available to pregnant women.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
Melvy leads our co-ed aftercare program and alumni group, which are critical in ensuring long-term success for our clients. We also encourage creating a supportive community through a Facebook group specifically for aftercare alumni, fostering a network of mutual support and encouragement.
