Nexus Programs and Services
Residential Services
Adult Women
Nexus Family Recovery Center’s Adult Women (AW) program serves women ages 18 and older who are not actively parenting during their treatment. While in residential treatment, clients’ calendars are filled with individual counseling, educational classes, and group therapy sessions.
Our AW clients engage in various activities that target the root of their substance use disorder (SUD). The goal is to treat their symptoms as they continue to develop life skills and foster a supportive community of people in recovery.
Pregnant and Parenting Women with Children
The Pregnant and Parenting Women with Children (PPWC) program provides residential treatment to adult women in all stages of pregnancy and to mothers with up to three children ages 0-12. Nexus is one of a few residential treatment facilities in Texas that invites women to bring their children to treatment. Each PPWC client receives a comprehensive treatment plan with parenting and education classes, postpartum support, and family education sessions.
Alongside a team of licensed counselors, a child and family education specialist, a case manager, and recovery coaches, clients follow a full schedule of activities to support their individualized recovery journey. With the services provided, along with regular prenatal care and healthy nutrition, clients experience improved birth outcomes.
Child Development Center
Nexus’ Child Development Center (CDC) is a fully licensed Texas Rising Star childcare center serving infants through school-aged children, so mothers in treatment can focus on their recovery. The CDC offers speech therapy, occupational therapy, and counseling for children in our residential programs.
After group sessions are completed for the day, children in our PPWC program return to their mothers for the night, allowing them to heal and grow together as a family. In addition to the children of our residential clients, the CDC is open to outpatient clients, staff, and the community.
Medical Services
Medical Detoxification
Our medically supervised detoxification program is the first step toward the recovery process. The program focuses on detoxification and stabilization to help individuals safely rid their bodies of harmful substances while addressing immediate withdrawal symptoms. The program provides medical supervision to ensure safety and comfort throughout the detox process.
After completing detox, Nexus’ treatment model encourages clients to continue to residential treatment through our Adult Women or Pregnant and Parenting Women with Children program, where women receive more intensive therapy and support.
Medication Assisted Treatment
Substance use disorder is a chronic illness that can physically, chemically, and permanently alter the brain. As with other chronic diseases, medication may be useful in treating substance use disorders. Nexus’ Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program provides FDA-approved medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies for the treatment of some substance use disorders.
Mental Health Programs
The mental health program Wellness Bridge pairs a client with a specialized counselor to address co-occurring mental health disorders that underly or exacerbate substance use disorder. Clients also meet with a provider for psychiatric evaluation and may receive needed mental health prescriptions.
Outpatient Services
Intensive Outpatient Program
Nexus’ Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) serves as a primary treatment for women or as a step-down from residential treatment. Our staff provide individualized plans and support networks for women managing daily living and recovery. By engaging in ongoing group and individual counseling, outpatient clients develop coping skills to support sustainable, long-term recovery.
Each month, Nexus recognizes outpatient clients who complete the IOP program with a graduation ceremony to celebrate this major milestone as they move into long-term recovery!
Recovery Support Services
Our certified Peer Specialists, many of whom are graduates of Nexus, help provide creative solutions, practical guidance, and education, as well as employment and housing assistance to women in long-term recovery.
Using personal lived experience to connect with outpatient clients, Nexus’ Peer Specialists extend the reach of treatment beyond the clinical setting into the everyday environment of those seeking a successful, sustained recovery.
Clients participate in group meetings and individual counseling with a focus on maintaining sobriety while dealing with the stressors of our RSS program also provides parenting education and comprehensive services to pregnant and parenting women. Through this program, clients participate in several hours of parenting classes per week and attend support groups to aid in their recovery journeys and prepare them for motherhood. Counselors and advocates work with each client to ensure that navigation through complex family systems is more seamless.
RSS includes an alumni group called Mom Squad that provides fun activities with mothers and children in the program. The Mom Squad hosts a variety of activities, such as visiting the Dallas Zoo, the Dallas Arboretum, White Rock Lake, and hanging out at White Rock Coffee and Sonic. Throughout the year, Mom Squad also holds baby showers for expectant mothers, where moms-to-be receive baby clothes, toiletries, and other supplies, all while celebrating their motherhood and recovery!
