Residential treatment facility to open for women with substance use disorders
Marshall University and its Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine have been awarded a five-year, $2.62 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to help launch a residential treatment center for pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders.
The grant, funded through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), will help support staffing and program costs for a new Marshall Health initiative called Project Hope for Women and Children. The 18-unit residential facility will provide a secure, stable living environment for new and expecting mothers and their children. In addition, the facility will provide onsite individual and family therapy and life skills coaching.
Set to open in fall 2018, Project Hope for Women and Children has the capacity to serve up to 18 families at a time in individual single-family units.
