The unique duplex setting on-site with 8 bedrooms in 2 duplexes is groundwork for cove's successful treatment program outside of the in-house residential community.

Cove will meet these goals and reach proposed goals by (a) decreasing the use and/or abuse of prescription, alcohol, tobacco, illicit and other harmful drugs among pregnant and postpartum women; (b) increasing safe and healthy pregnancies; (c) improving birth outcomes; (d) reducing related effects of maternal and /or paternal drug use on infants and children; (e) improving the mental and physical health of the women and children; (f) preventing mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders among the children; (g) improving parenting skills, family functioning, economic stability, and quality of life for families; (h) linking women to eligible benefits, housing, employment, transportation, and other community social services. Cove will provide and/or coordinate treatment services to pregnant and postpartum women and their families including minor children, as well as an array of services for non-residential family members of both the women and children delivered on-site at cove's main campus or in-home. Other components will include follow-up care after families leave the residential setting by continuing the individual and family wellness and recovery plans in the home and adding parenting and workshops to enhance family functioning and mitigate RE-lapse. Cove will include culturally competent, trauma-informed services designed to meet the specific needs of PPW and their children.
