Children And Mothers Program (CAMP)
Children & Mothers Program (CAMP) is the only program in Maine that provides on-site living arrangements and daycare to minor children of mothers in recovery from chemical dependency. Children from 6 weeks to age 10 may live with their mother while she participates in the Residential Rehabilitation and Halfway House residential treatment programs. Professional day care staff has experience in working with children with behavioral and developmental issues.
CAMP clinical staff has special expertise in teaching and modeling appropriate parenting techniques, demonstrated in part through a variety of nurturing and fun activities for the children and their mothers. In addition, parenting skills classes are offered along with age appropriate educational tools designed to help children better understand and cope with their mothers' chemical dependency. Crossroads for Women also works with local schools to ensure a smooth transition for those school-aged children accompanying their mothers in treatment.
