Families in Recovery
Recovery is a family affair at Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS. Our programs offer supportive services to families with children. Sojourner House helps mothers learn to manage their substance use disorder while helping them to rebuild damaged relationships with their children. Families receive counseling and supportive services to help them navigate life with substance use disorder and break generational cycles of substance use, poverty and trauma.
