Throughout this holiday season, Nexus Recovery Center, a Dallas-based nonprofit organization specializing in substance use disorder treatments for adult women (including mothers and women with children), will serve hundreds of women and their accompanying children who are seeking sobriety on the path to recovery. 
        

Since many of the families who enter the nonprofit are starting from scratch, their mission is to ensure they are supported with the essential items they need, like a warm place to sleep, meals to eat, and clothing to wear as they embark on their recovery journey.  Supporting Nexus’ life-saving services helps the women and children receiving care have a safe and special holiday. Opportunities are now available to sponsor a Nexus family or client today.

About Nexus Recovery Center

Founded in 1971 and based in Dallas, Texas, Nexus Recovery Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that treats the whole woman by offering an array of comprehensive services, including specialized substance use disorder treatment services, as well as therapeutic treatment and care for their accompanying children in order to restore health and encourage resilience – regardless of a woman’s ability to pay. 

Accredited by the Joint Commission since 2006, it is the only treatment center in North Texas that accepts women in the late stages of pregnancy and also allows children to accompany their mothers into treatment. Serving solely women on their journey to recovery, Nexus’ mission is to create a safe space for its clients and serve as a link to sobriety, independence, and dignity for women and their families. Nexus inspires hope, offers respect, and honors the unique differences of women through the help of a dedicated board, volunteers, staff, partners and donors. Together, Nexus Recovery Center changes families’ lives, whatever their income, gender, sexual orientation or ethnicity. For more information, visit www.nexusrecovery.org
