Throughout its history, Nexus Recovery Center has strived to remove barriers that prevent women from accessing treatment services for substance use disorder (SUD). With the mental health and SUD crises growing, Nexus is embarking on the Recovery Rising campaign to address the most pressing needs as part of a new campus vision. Please take a moment to watch the video below and learn more about this transformative campaign that will help women and their children work together at Nexus to rise up, regain hope, and retake control of their lives!
Rise Up

Regain Hope
The Stallings Foundation Donates $1 Million to Nexus
The Stallings Foundation has donated $1 million to Nexus Recovery Center, the largest gift that the foundation has ever granted in its 22-year history. With The Stalling Foundation’s $1 million gift, Nexus’ Recovery Rising campaign has currently raised $8.35 million, more than three-quarters of the way to our goal.
“The Recovery Rising campaign will achieve Nexus’ goal of providing a safe, dignified, and sustainable campus,” said Kristy and Raymond Faus, Recovery Rising Co-Chairs. “This generous gift from The Stallings Foundation will help us build a facility where all women and their children can find hope and healing through recovery.”
Future phases of the Recovery Rising campaign will focus on sustainable, safe, and inspiring living and treatment spaces. The campaign also aims to increase capacity reserves, address operational needs, and build a staff to support the clinical and social best practices of both women and children.

Elizabeth Retake Control Over Her Life
Elizabeth attempted treatment twice before she made it to Nexus. The first two times the treatment centers did not have medical detox and she was so sick during the first portion of her treatment that she couldn’t focus on recovery.
Elizabeth had struggled with substance use since she was a child. She had been abused by her stepfather and used substances to end her pain and deal with the trauma caused by child abuse. Elizabeth was 26 when she had a son and knew she wanted and needed treatment, but she was so afraid that CPS would take her son away if she sought treatment. She didn’t know about Nexus. She had no idea that there was a treatment center where she could bring her child with her and heal.
CPS eventually learned about Elizabeth and her substance use. They removed her son when he was eight. Elizabeth was then determined and inspired to get help and get her son back.
Then she heard about Nexus and entered our medical detox program. She then moved from detox to adult women program with Co-Occurring Psychiatric and Substance Use Disorder therapy, then graduated from Intensive Outpatient, and became active with Recovery Support Services.
Elizabeth is now employed at children’s behavioral health facility, lives in an Oxford House and sponsors other women in recovery. She said that Nexus’ continuum of care treatment model is what made the difference in her recovery. Thanks to Nexus’ medical detox and trauma-informed care, Elizabeth and she now has a healthy relationship with her son and has retaken control of her life.
