Our mission is to provide evidence-based, low barrier, on-demand access to medications for addiction treatment to people who are interested in cutting back or stopping their drug or alcohol use. We approach addiction treatment with a harm reduction lens, therefore, patients are not required to commit to abstinence from all substances in order to receive care within the clinic. Our team consists of physicians, advance practice providers, a social worker, care transistions coordinators, patient access specialists, and certified recovery mentors/peer support specialists.

Project Nurture provides prenatal care, inpatient maternity care, and postpartum care for women who struggle with addictions as well as pediatric care for their infants.
​
Women enrolled in Project Nurture receive outpatient addiction treatment by certified alcohol and drug counselors (CADCs) and receive Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), including methadone or buprenorphine, alongside their pregnancy care. This program provides comprehensive evidence-based care both for both the pregnancy and addiction, improving maternal and infant outcomes.
​
Project Nurture has been shown to reduce placement of children in foster care, increase prenatal visits, and decrease child maltreatment.
​
Project Nurture’s model is to engage women in prenatal care and drug treatment as early in pregnancy as possible, provide inpatient care for their delivery and follow them and their infants for a year postpartum providing case management and advocacy services throughout. Women who participate in Project Nurture are informed of policies regarding DHS Child Welfare reporting and we believe that this transparency facilitates a trusting relationship with providers and allows us to advocate for women and their families whenever possible.

Join PSI-trained peer facilitators, who have lived and/or professional experience, for a recovery-focused virtual gathering. This peer support group is for those from pregnancy to two years postpartum who are engaged in recovery or considering recovery from substance use disorders (SUD This is a meeting focused on recovery, meaning a goal of abstaining from use, excluding medications taken as prescribed. For people who are considering recovery or have had a slip, and have used the day of the meeting, listening and observing is welcome, rather than active participation. No diagnosis is needed to attend. The perinatal period brings about unique challenges for those trying to maintain sobriety, and this group is a space to share those experiences and receive support whether you’ve been sober for one day or one hundred days. Substance use disorders may include, but are not limited to, alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and/or marijuana use disorder. PSI recognizes SUD as a chronic illness of the brain from which we can recover and lead healthy lives, and we honor that there are multiple, unique pathways to recovery for each individual. We hope to support those on their recovery journey as they also navigate pregnancy and postpartum. We do not treat, diagnose, or conduct therapy in our sessions as the focus is peer support. These sessions would not be a replacement for therapy, addiction treatment, or medical care.
​
This group will take place on Zoom.

Since 1989, Letty Owings Center has helped young mothers to become sober, healthy and hopeful about the future.
​
Because recovery is more complex during pregnancy and while raising young children, we offer a safe, inclusive environment for women to live with their children while in treatment for substance use disorders.
​
Letty Owings has helped more than 400 women regain stability. Our residents often are able to stay with their children, who might otherwise be placed in foster care. Last year alone, we helped 23 children be reunited with their mothers.
