Nexus Family Recovery Center Expands Services for Women and Children in North Texas

Nexus Family Recovery Center's Mission and Services

• 🎯 Nexus Family Recovery Center is a Dallas-based nonprofit dedicated to helping women and their children heal and rebuild their lives.
• 💡 Their unique approach includes serving women only, allowing mothers to bring up to three children into residential services, and providing care for the uninsured or underinsured.
• 🧠 The center offers substance use disorder treatment with a family-centered approach, ensuring that families can go through the recovery process together.

Expansion and Increased Capacity

• 🚀 Nexus Family Recovery Center is undergoing a multi-year campaign called Recovery Rising to rebuild its campus and increase bed capacity.
• 📈 Currently serving approximately 3,200 clients annually, the expansion aims to serve over 6,000 clients by the end of the campaign, nearly doubling their capacity.
• ⚠️ The expansion is driven by a significant need, evidenced by a month-long waitlist for their women and children's programs, and a desire to serve families throughout Texas.

Community Need and Demand

• 🗓️ While demand is consistent year-round, there's a slight dip during the holiday season, with a quick rebound in January.
• ⚠️ Substance use disorder affects individuals regardless of their location, time of year, or personal circumstances.

How to Get Involved

• 🦆 Nexus Family Recovery Center hosts a Duck Derby event on September 9th, where participants can purchase a duck for $25, with proceeds supporting the center.
• 🤝 The organization welcomes financial support and offers a variety of volunteer opportunities, including reading to children, leading 12-step meetings, and grounds beautification.
