Families Stay Together As Parents Recover From Addiction - Addiction/Recovery eBulletin

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL –

Nov. 6, 2025 – Our Place, housed in an apartment building provides free housing to adults and their children as parents go through recovery and receive mental health treatment, employment assistance and other supportive services. It’s the latest expansion of county treatment and housing services to keep families together while parents navigate addiction treatment and recovery.

For the program’s open house on Oct. 29, Milah Thompson wore a t-shirt that said “It’s a great day to be clean.” After moving in the night before from Her Place, a women’s treatment program, she said Our Place had already brightened up her world.

Thompson, who has a 3-year-old son with her fiancé, was looking forward to the weekend when his two older children would visit their new apartment. 

“This Saturday we’ll have all three kids, and we’ll be one big family,” she said.

It was a long way to get there, but she recommended it to anyone who wanted to start fresh and rebuild their relationships.
