Programs & Services

Susan’s Legacy is a program for women with co-occurring mental and addictive disorders; sometimes called dual-diagnosis disorders.
The women we serve are predominantly homeless and are often involved with the criminal justice system; some have numerous felonies
With our support and assistance the women we serve work to stay stable with their mental illness and in recovery with their addiction—all are working to rebuild their lives:
- They must work to become employed, stay housed, and become economically independent
- They must stay compliant with court mandates and probationary requirements
- They desperately work to build trust in their relationships with their children, and many are working to regain custody or visitation with their children
To enter our program, women must meet general criteria:
- They must have an assessment to determine their diagnosis is one that meets the criteria of co-occurring mental and addictive disorder
- Having met the eligibility criteria, some women may choose to only participate in individual stand-alone services, while others may choose to commit to our Support and Recovery Program
- To enter our Support and Recovery Program, participants must be 60 days post-treatment and show a demonstrable commitment to recovery – drug and/or alcohol free.
