Our Vision
Pathways to Possibilities
Residential Services
Adult Women
Nexus’ Adult Women (AW) program serves women ages 18 and up who are not pregnant or actively parenting during treatment. As a residential program, clients live on campus until completing treatment, at which time staff make sure they have stable housing for outpatient recovery.
While in this program, clients maintain a full schedule of individual counseling, educational and counseling groups, and activities that aim for the heart of their disorder. The goal is to treat their issues, as they learn life skills and foster a like-minded community of people in recovery.
Pregnant and Parenting Women with Children
The Pregnant & Parenting Women with Children (PPWC) residential program serves adult women in all stages of pregnancy, as well as mothers with up to three children aged 0-12. Each client receives a comprehensive treatment plan that includes a full roster of parenting education classes, postpartum support, as well as family education sessions.
Together with a team of licensed counselors, a child and family education specialist, a case manager, and recovery coaches, clients maintain a full schedule of individual counseling, educational and counseling groups, and other recovery activities designed to assist clients with their individualized pathway to recovery and becoming a part of a supportive community and children having an opportunity to thrive in a family spirited setting.
Child Development Center
Nexus’ Child Development Center (CDC) is a fully licensed childcare center serving infants through school-aged children so that mothers in recovery 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 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, accepting childcare assistance through ChildCareGroup.
Medical Services
Medical Detoxification
Clients entering residential treatment may experience life-threatening symptoms as they go through withdrawal, so our Medical Detoxification Program provides constant monitoring, medication, and care. After completing detox, clients go on to either our Adult Women (AW) or Pregnant & Parenting Women with Children (PPWC) programs.
Our experienced detox counselors use motivational interviewing to help clients develop a comprehensive recovery program that includes relapse prevention plans and overdose prevention plans to ensure long-term recovery.
Medication Assisted Treatment
Opioid (heroin, fentanyl) use disorder is a chronic disease that can permanently alter the brain, making dependence even harder to break. For some clients recovering from opioid use, Nexus uses Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) to help ensure long-term recovery.
Nexus’ MAT program provides clients with regular doses of medication to reduce cravings as well as the risk of overdose. Combined with counseling and behavioral therapies, Medication Assisted Treatment is an effective regimen for many clients with opioid use disorders.
Psychiatric Services
Nexus’ approach involves meeting a woman where she is in her recovery journey and addressing all barriers to recovery. For some clients, Co-Occurring Psychiatric & Substance Use Disorders (COPSD) must be addressed as part of their treatment.
Our medical providers offer psychiatric evaluations and medication management to our clients. In addition, our master’s level counselors are equipped to address the complex needs of each client, and use evidence-based treatment approaches to treat co-occurring mental health disorders and the complex trauma that may underlie 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 a group called Mom Squad that is always doing fun activities with the mothers and children in the program, such as visiting the Dallas Zoo, the Dallas Arboretum, White Rock Lake, or even just hanging out at White Rock Coffee or Sonic. Mom Squad also holds baby showers for expectant mothers, where moms-to-be receive baby clothes, toiletries, and other supplies, all while celebrating their newfound motherhood and recovery!
