ABOUT FAMILY AND CHILDREN’S SERVICES – WOMEN IN RECOVERY
A part of Family and Children’s Services, one of Tulsa’s leading behavioral health care providers, the Women in Recovery (WIR) program provides eligible women with intensive outpatient treatment as an alternative to long-term incarceration for non-violent, drug-related offenses.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Women who are accepted into the program receive extensive addiction and mental health counseling, along with addiction education, career training, and job placement. They also participate in anger management groups, parenting skills workshops, nutrition education classes, and healthy recreational activities. Additionally, workshops and counseling for children affected by their mother’s addiction are also offered.
WIR works closely with the criminal justice system to ensure clients are properly supervised.
