Causes: Mental Health, Substance Abuse Treatment

Mission: The mission of Coram Deo Recovery is to help women who are recovering from abuse and addiction and rebuilding their lives and families. We do this through the power of empathy, compassion and a belief in the value of each person.

Results: As the largest and leading provider of Transitional Sober Housing for Women in the State of CT, our program has been a leader in the industry over the last 10 years. Over fifty percent of the women served by our program stay in the recovery cycle longer than six months, a longer recovery cycle than achieved by traditional programs. (A key indicator of program effectiveness is the length of time a person spends in the documented recovery cycle. )The average length of stay in our program is 9 months, with many women staying 18-24 months. This provides the stability necessary to gain new life skills that foster independence and empowerment.

Target demographics: As many as 61 women are served by the program at a given time. Over the past nine years we have served 1,500 women.

Direct beneficiaries per year: Last year 178 women were served and over 260 family members impacted.

Geographic areas served: Coram Deo services are offered to women who live throughout CT. We deliver person-centered recovery planning and case management services to women living in our six transitional homes located in New Britain and Berlin. The geographical placement of the program enables residents to receive services in their own community, rather than in remote locations.

Programs: Coram Deo provides Transitional Housing, Case Management and Wrap around services intended to foster empowerment and independence.
