Pathways to Possibilities
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 sessions, and group sessions.
Our AW clients engage in various activities that target the root of their substance use disorder. 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 & Parenting Women with Children (PPWC) program provides residential treatment to adult women in all stages of pregnancy and mothers with up to three children ages 0-12. Nexus is one of a few residential treatment facilities in Texas that welcomes 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.
Child Development Center
Nexus’ Child Development Center (CDC) is a fully-licensed childcare center serving infants through school-aged children so mothers in treatment can focus on their recovery journey. The CDC offers speech therapy and occupational therapy for children in our residential programs. After group sessions are done for the day, children in our PPWC program return to their mothers for the night, so they can heal and grow together as a family.
In addition to the children of our residential clients, the CDC is also open to outpatient clients, staff, as well as the community as a whole.
Medical Services
Medical Detoxification
Some clients require medically supported detox due to the severity of their withdrawal symptoms. Our Medical Detoxification 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 a continuum of care by encouraging clients to continue onto residential treatment, through our Adult Women and PPWC programs where women receive more intensive therapy and support.
Medication Assisted Treatment
Opioid use disorder (e.g., heroin, fentanyl) is a chronic disease that can permanently alter the brain, making dependence harder to break. For some clients, Nexus uses Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), proven effective in reducing or eliminating opioid use, managing withdrawal symptoms, and preventing relapse.
MAT combines FDA-approved medications like methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone with counseling and behavioral therapies to address both physical and psychological aspects of addiction. This approach improves treatment retention, reduces overdose risk, and supports long-term recovery by helping individuals stabilize and rebuild healthier habits.
Psychiatric Services
Nexus Family Recovery Center’s approach involves addressing all barriers to recovery. For some clients, this may include treatment for Co-Occurring Psychiatric & Substance Use Disorders (COPSD).
Nexus’ medical providers offer psychiatric evaluations and medication management to our clients, while our master’s level counselors address the needs of each client, using evidence-based approaches to treat co-occurring mental health disorders and the complex trauma that may accompany substance use disorder.
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, clients develop coping skills that make for sustainable, long-term recovery.
Last year, Nexus started holding monthly graduation ceremonies for clients who complete the IOP program, helping them to celebrate this major milestone as they move into long-term recovery!
Recovery Support Services
Recovery Support Services (RSS) offers experience, strength, and hope to women in recovery. Our certified Peer Specialists, many of whom are themselves Nexus alums, 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 clients, Nexus’ Peer Specialists extend the reach of treatment beyond the clinical setting into the everyday environment of those seeking a successful, sustained recovery process!

Nexus Generations
Our Nexus Generations program 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 help them on their recovery journeys and prepare them for motherhood. Counselors and advocates work with each expectant mother to ensure that navigation through complex family systems is more seamless.
Nexus Generations includes an alumni group called Mom Squad that provides fun activities with the mothers and children in the program. This past year, we celebrated three years of the Mom Squad program with an 80s-themed party and hosted 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 held baby showers for expectant mothers, where moms-to-be received baby clothes, toiletries, and other supplies, all while celebrating their motherhood and recovery!
