Relapse Prevention
A chemical dependency counselor from a local treatment center works closely with women in this group once a week to discuss and deal with chemical addiction issues.
Multidisciplinary Team
One of the significant gaps in women’s services is having comprehensive services and a multidisciplinary service team.
Breaking Free recognizes the importance of establishing a multidisciplinary team including a nutritionist, psychologist, CD counselor, etc. We do this through our partnership with Resource Recovery Center which also houses our satellite office in Minneapolis.
Health Program
Working with a nearby local health clinic, women in this group are offered physical examinations, appropriate lab testing, and a variety of other essential medical services. As transportation is often a major barrier to health care, women are transported by the clinic’s van at no cost.
Breaking Free also provides education and information regarding HIV/AIDS and other STDs, maternal alcohol abuse (FAS/FAE), breast and cervical cancer, diabetes, and other women's issues.
