Accessing Success
Substance Use Disorder Recovery Support
Accessing Success is a peer mentor program designed to support parents on their recovery journey. Accessing Success offers a range of services to parents, including one-on-one peer support, a recovery support group, and social activities. These services are available for individuals who identify as having a substance use disorder as well as for parents or caregivers who have a loved one struggling with substance use disorder.
At the core of the program is a holistic, individualized approach. Families receive tailored services that address their specific needs, and our staff work closely with parents to support them in navigating the complexities of raising children.
Peer Support
Our Accessing Success Peer Support staff identify as having lived experience with a substance use disorder (SUD), and includes SUD Counselors and Certified Recovery Mentors. This team is committed to supporting parents in overcoming substance use disorders, while also empowering them to become more confident and nurturing caregivers to their children. Through crisis response, individual support, and regular home visits, our staff help parents develop the skills they need to maintain their recovery and provide a stable environment for their children.
Throughout the year, Accessing Success staff organize social activities for Relief Nursery parents in the program, offering a chance to connect and bond with other parents in a drug and alcohol free setting.
Parents for Recovery Group
Accessing Success offers a unique opportunity for Relief Nursery parents who identify with a substance use disorder to participate in a weekly group called Parents for Recovery. This support group provides a safe space for parents to share their experiences and learn from others who are on a similar journey, facilitated by a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), and supported in the group by a Certified Recovery Mentor (CRM). Staff help remove barriers to attendance by offering transportation, childcare, and meals. Partners and affected others are also welcome to attend Parents for Recovery.
A Strong Foundation for Recovery
By addressing substance use disorders and meeting parents wherever they are on their recovery journey, Accessing Success lays the foundation for healthier, more resilient families. With the guidance and experience of our peer support staff, parents can take another step toward recovery and a brighter future for their families.
