Lafayette House

With over 45 years of service, this nonprofit residential program helps women recover from trauma, addiction, and domestic or sexual violence. It supports those with co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges, including alcohol and opioid use. Women can access both residential and outpatient care, with services that support mothers without requiring separation from their children. Lafayette House uses a trauma-informed approach and integrates therapies like motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and relapse prevention. Women receive medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as needed and access case management, peer mentoring, and recovery groups. Parenting classes and life skills training help strengthen daily routines, while treatment plans are tailored to each person’s goals and needs. Women live in a structured setting built to support family stability. The residential program includes housing for mothers and children, with staff providing childcare during treatment. The environment supports healing through daily structure, recovery-focused programming, and consistent support. The center also provides transportation help and integrated primary care services to support residents.
