What if I have Children and Need Rehab?

What Circle Tree Ranch Offers Parents

Our substance abuse rehabilitation centers and alcohol addiction treatment facilities were first established in 1969 in Tucson, Arizona. In the years to follow our teaching and therapeutic communities developed the largest federally funded array of drug and alcohol treatment services for women and children in the United States. Circle Tree Ranch provides residential addiction rehabilitation services for men and women over the age of 18, including pregnant women, and parents undergoing drug and alcohol treatment whose children reside with them on our campus. Circle Tree Ranch is unique among alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers as one of the first to adapt addiction treatment to meet the needs of women and their children, and on occasion men or families with their children, and we are fully licensed to provide these services. Individuals who bring their children with them into treatment are often found to have greater success in achieving long term addiction recovery.

What if I have Children? – Additional Programs

Parents may bring up to two children with them to our residential drug and alcohol treatment community. The cost for children residing with a parent in treatment is $1,200 per child, per month. We accept children ranging in ages from newborn to eight (8) years of age. Circle Tree Ranch also accepts pregnant mothers into our substance abuse treatment program. The children at Circle Tree Ranch either attend daycare during the day or attend the nearby elementary school which provides busing service from our facility. Separate dormitory housing is provided for mothers or fathers with children (in addition to families). Circle Tree Ranch sometimes offers special family events at night or on the weekends. We also interface with other providers to assist in finding ancillary services for children in the care of their parents at Circle Tree Ranch.

The course “Parenting with Love and Logic” is offered in six week rotations for individuals receiving addiction treatment at Circle Tree Ranch. Students are awarded a certificate upon successful completion of the course.

In addition to substance abuse rehabilitation, alcohol addiction treatment and parenting courses, many women at Circle Tree Ranch enroll in “Mujer Sana – Healthy Women”, a federally funded project to promote women’s health through a 13 week women specific program. Curriculum is being adapted to reflect recommendations by recently published documents specifically informing women suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction abuse on the prevention of STD’s (sexually transmitted diseases), Hepatitis A, B, and C, TB (tuberculosis), and HIV/AIDS.

In conjunction with the Tucson Centers for Women and Children (TCWC) bi-monthly workshops for faculty and students at Amity’s Circle Tree Ranch are held on domestic violence education. A certificate of participation is offered upon successful completion of these seminars.

Circle Tree Ranch alcohol and drug abuse rehabilitation facility also works with Tucson’s Las Familias Program providing bi-monthly seminars for faculty and students regarding children/adult victims of violence and childhood abuse. Las Familias is a nonprofit outpatient treatment center specializing in childhood sexual abuse counseling serving both children and adults.
