How Nexus Recovery Center helps women and their kids
Nexus Recovery Center’s residential programs offer intensive, structured, trauma-responsive services using the 12-Step model as its foundation. The center can house up to 130 women for five to 90 days and services focus on recovery from opioid, alcohol, and benzodiazepine addiction, Nexus said. The center’s programs are designed to address substance use disorder as well as additional barriers to recovery, including social systems, mental health issues, and lack of access to resources.
Nexus Recovery Center has served more than 2.500 women and children in the past year via its comprehensive continuum of care for substance use disorders.

Nexus Partners with Parkland Hospital on prenatal care and more
Nexus’ on-campus programs focus on building thriving mothers, ensuring healthy birth outcomes for infants, and providing a safe and secure place for children to build resilience and thrive, the center said. It’s one of the few treatment centers in Texas that serves pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy. Via a partnership with Parkland Hospital, Nexus provides prenatal care as well as labor and delivery services for pregnant women in treatment.
The center operates a licensed childcare center serving infants through school-aged children so that its clients and alumni can rely on quality care while focusing on their recovery journey. And the Child Development Center offers play therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy for children in its residential programs, accepting childcare assistance through Childcare Group.
