Lotus House
Lotus House is a family-centered residential recovery program that helps children stay connected to their mothers while their mothers receive treatment for substance use disorders.
Children thrive when they are safe, supported, and able to maintain healthy relationships with their caregivers. Too often, families affected by substance use disorders experience separation during treatment, creating additional trauma for both parents and children. Lotus House offers a different approach by providing a safe, structured environment where families can heal together.
At Lotus House, children benefit from stability, safety, and nurturing care while mothers receive comprehensive substance use disorder treatment and recovery support. The program focuses on strengthening families, promoting healthy parent-child attachment, supporting child development, and reducing the need for family separation whenever it can be done safely.
