Mission

The mission of the Women’s Recovery Center is to serve women and their families by providing comprehensive substance abuse treatment, prevention, and education programs that are client-centered, family-based, and recovery-focused.

About

THE WOMEN'S RECOVERY CENTER PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE ADDICTION TREATMENT, PREVENTION AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT ARE CLIENT-CENTERED, FAMILY-BASED AND RECOVERY-FOCUSED. OPERATING WITH THE MANTRA TREATING ADDICTION LIBERATING LIVES, THE WOMEN'S RECOVERY CENTER PROVIDES INDIVIDUALIZED AND COMPREHENSIVE ALCOHOL AND DRUG TREATMENT SERVICES FOR MEDICALLY INDIGENT WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES. IN 2013, THE CENTER BEGAN TO SEE AN UNPRECEDENTED INCREASE IN THE USE OF PRESCRIPTION OPIOIDS AND A RESULTING INCREASE IN HEROIN USE. THIS HAS INCREASED TO OVER 65% IN 2018. MORE THAN 90% OF THE CLIENTS MEET THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. BASED ON EXPERIENCE AND STUDIES CONDUCTED BY THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, ADDICTION MANIFESTS ITSELF VERY DIFFERENTLY FOR WOMEN THAN MEN; THEREFORE, IT IS ALSO ESTIMATED THAT MORE THAN 90% OF THE CLIENTS SERVED THROUGH THE CENTER HAVE EXPERIENCED TRAUMA SUCH AS SEXUAL ASSAULT, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR MOLESTATION. FOR THE WOMEN'S RECOVERY CENTER, THE INTRUSION OF THE CONSTRUCTION WITH LOUD NOISES, STRANGE MEN, CONFINED GROUP SPACE AND ODD SMELLS HAVE DELAYED THE WRC FROM DOUBLING THE CAPACITY TO TREAT WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES. DURING THE FIRST PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION, THE CLINICAL CENSUS WAS IMPACTED BY THE FACT THAT THE BUILDING APPEARED TO BE A VACANT FACILITY. A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP OCCURRED IN JUNE OF 2019. MARY JANE CHICHESTER WAS REPLACED BY INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ASHLEY YASSALL. AN EXECUTIVE SEARCH WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE 4TH QUARTER OF 2019. UNDER NEW LEADERSHIP, THE WRC CAN REACH THE PROJECTED CENSUS IN MID-2020, THE CENSUS IS REACHING THE GOAL FOR EACH OF THE PRIMARY COUNSELORS. WE ALSO PLAN TO OPEN OUR CHILD CARE FACILITY, HOLD A GRAND OPENING OF OUR COMPLETED FACILITY AND HIRE A COMMUNITY CASE MANAGER IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF NEW LEADERSHIP. WITH EACH PASSING WEEK, THE HEROIN CRISIS CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE LIVES OF WOMEN AND FAMILIES. MORE WOMEN ARE DYING IN OHIO FROM COMPLICATIONS OF ADDICTION THAN FROM CAR ACCIDENTS, BREAST CANCER AND HOMICIDES COMBINED. PRESCRIPTION DRUGS SERVED AS THE GATEWAY DRUGS THAT ARE LEADING TO CRISIS LEVEL ADDICTION TO HEROIN IN OHIO. THIS CRISIS IS NOT LIMITED TO THE INNER CITY OF CLEVELAND BUT IMPACTS WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES AT ALL INCOME AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUND. AS CLIENTS BEGIN TO WITHDRAW, THEY WILL BEGIN DEVELOPING FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS. THESE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS PERSIST FOR 7 - 12 DAYS. DURING THIS PERIOD AND WITHOUT SUPPORT MORE THAN HALF OF OPIATE ADDICTED WOMEN WILL BE SO ILL THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WILL FEEL BETTER IF THEY BEGIN USING AGAIN AND ULTIMATELY RELAPSE. A RELAPSE FOLLOWING JUST A FEW DAYS OR A WEEK OF SOBRIETY ESCALATES THE CHANCE OF AN OVERDOSE. THE REALITY IS THAT OPIATE ADDICTED CLIENTS THAT ARE DETOXING ARE NOT CANDIDATES TO BE ENGAGED IN A TREATMENT PROGRAM. THE CLIENTS ARE CONSUMED WITH FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS AND AN INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE AND SHARE. THE CENTER, IN THE LAST MONTHS, HAS HAD POOR RESULTS IN ADMITTING WOMEN TO TREATMENT, KEEPING THEM ENGAGED BEFORE THEY SIMPLY GIVE-UP AND RELAPSE; THEREFORE, THE CENTER HAS CREATED A PROACTIVE MODEL TO ADDRESS THESE SYSTEM WIDE DEFICIENCIES. THE NON-MEDICAL OUTPATIENT MODEL HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND IS PLANNED FOR IMPLEMENTATION TO ADDRESS THE LACK OF DETOXIFICATION RESOURCES. THROUGHOUT 2018, THE WOMEN'S RECOVERY CENTER PROVIDED ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG TREATMENT SERVICES FOR 115 WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES. THERE WERE 17 BABIES BORN TO ACTIVE OR PRIOR CLIENTS THAT SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE TREATMENT PROGRAM. THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH HAS REPORTED THAT BABIES WITH NEONATAL ABSTINENCE SYNDROME (NAS) COST AN ADDITIONAL 61,000 (MAJORITY ARE PAID BY MEDICAID). FOR THE WOMEN'S RECOVERY CENTER, THE INTRUSION OF THE CONSTRUCTION WITH LOUD NOISES, STRANGE MEN, CONFINED GROUP SPACE AND ODD SMELLS HAVE DELAYED THE WRC FROM DOUBLING THE CAPACITY TO TREAT WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES. DURING THE FIRST PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION, THE CLINICAL CENSUS WAS IMPACTED BY THE FACT THAT THE BUILDING APPEARED TO BE A VACANT FACILITY. CONSTRUCTION WAS COMPLETED IN AUGUST 2018.
