Michigan Substance Abuse Facilities for Mothers

Entering a substance abuse treatment program is a life-changing experience that involves a lot of hard work, determination and positive support from family and friends. Treatment programs are available for women of all walks of life, including those who are pregnant, those who have children, and those who are separated from them. These programs give moms the resources to help themselves become better individuals and better parents.
