About Ujima Family Recovery Services – Martinez
Ujima Family Recovery Services is a nonprofit that empowers adults and families to recover from addiction and dual diagnosis. They offer the La Casa Ujima Residential Treatment Program in Martinez, California. This specialized track welcomes moms with young children as well as pregnant and postpartum women.
With residential care, you’ll live in a structured environment while receiving continuous support and treatment. Along with group, individual, and family therapy, you’ll benefit from tailored approaches that can include pregnancy support, trauma therapy, and family reunification programs. This way, when you graduate, you’ll have a strong foundation of support to not relapse.
What stands out most to me is their welcoming atmosphere. They create a safe, family-like space to focus fully on recovery with peers on similar paths. You’ll benefit from sharing your experiences with other women as you hold each other accountable and celebrate wins together. You’ll all lean on each other and draw from each other’s strengths.
I also love that they offer services for your children. You’ll have access to childcare, so you know your child is safe and supported as you participate in sessions. They also provide child development services to help your child foster essential skills. Additionally, you can participate in parenting education to gain the tools to care for your family successfully.
Once you wrap up their services, you can continue to network through AA and other support. Check ‘em out to make sure they’re a good fit for you.
