About The Women's Program

The MCCA Women's Program is an outpatient treatment program for chemically dependent women who are pregnant, postpartum and/or have children. The goal of the program is to provide intensive, structured chemical abuse and dependence treatment in order to assist women in maintaining abstinence, improving relationships and becoming a better parent.

MCCA's counseling staff is sensitive to the multiple roles women assume such as employee, wife and primary childcare provider, as well as issues of violence, assault, sexual abuse, trauma and family dynamics.

The MCCA Women's Program is designed to overcome the barriers to treatment which exist for women by allowing mothers to bring their children with tem. Children will be in a safe, caring and structured environment.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAE) and Drug Exposed Infants

Mothers in this program whose children have FAS, FAE and drug exposure will gain parenting skills to effectively manage the special needs of their children. The success of establishing a positive relationship between mother and child results in a healthier mother/child bond, enabling women to fully engage in their children's development and enjoy the many wonderful rewards of motherhood.

Fees

At MCCA we participate in many managed care plans, and we also accept traditional insurance. Many plans require that you make a co-payment at the time of your visit. To make it easy as possible for you, we accept cash, checks and most major credit cards. Some insurance plans may require that you obtain authorization from them before you visit us. Since this differs by plan, please check with your insurance company so you may receive complete benefits from your coverage.

MCCA also participates in the General Assistance Behavioral Health Program. A sliding fee scale is available for those clients who qualify and are not covered by other sources of reimbursement.

Your counselor can help manage your insurance plan and any payments you may need to make.
