LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Redwood Community Services Inc. is pleased to announce the opening of the HOME program (Health Opportunities in Mothering Experiences) in Lower Lake.

HOME is a perinatal drug and alcohol outpatient treatment clinic designed to support the special needs of pregnant and mothering women in working toward recovery.

The HOME program is located at 16170 Main St. Suite F.

This program required many dedicated staff working long and hard to have the vision of HOME Perinatal Drug and Alcohol Program to be realized.

At HOME mothers struggling with substance abuse receive treatment, build community, and nurture opportunities to build connections with their children.

Groups and treatment hours are Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

They currently are accepting referrals from community partners as well as self-referrals.

Redwood Community Services reported that this new service has been overwhelmingly well received within the community.

Since our opening we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the community. Particularly from Craig at 2oday Furniture, who not only made a very generous donation of furniture, but also helped Redwood Community Services realize its vision of a warm, comfortable and inviting sanctuary for the women and families in the program.

Lake County has been without such a program for several years now, and Redwood Community Services is excited to expand its services to meet the needs of the community.

Various childcare items such as toys and cribs are still in need for this program and are a tax-deductible donation.
