Our aim is to provide a healthy lifestyle and chemical-free environment for women and their children while learning new coping and parenting skills. Handling and enjoying social and recreational situations without the use of alcohol and drugs is emphasized.

Women may enter treatment at Riel House at any time during their pregnancies. They are also eligible if they are actively parenting children under age six, or if they are seeking return of their children under age six from protective custody (CPS).

Riel House exclusively serves women and is staffed by specially trained counselors. Therapy is an ongoing part of living at Riel House.
