OUR VISION
Our vision is to create a better everyday life for persons in recovery from a substance use disorder. This is accomplished by providing a home-like recovery environment that promotes a safe, clean, and affordable place for residents to build or enhance prosocial behaviors and relationships that are supportive of their continuous recovery.

The primary goal of the program is to reduce personal challenges through the use of therapeutic treatment. Our supportive services include:
- Housing for women and their children.
- Childcare – Children under the age of five are provided with supervised childcare.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
A PERSON-CENTERED APPROACH TO TREATMENT – Positive Images has adopted Carl Rogers’ person–centered approach to treatment. It recognizes that each individual is the expert in reporting their history and needs and that the therapist is merely the facilitator. Positive Images values each consumer, the staff, and the leadership of the organization. Positive Images believes in treating each person individually and attempts to view the world from the person’s perspective. Positive Images implements services in a positive social environment whereas individuals can experience relative well-being. The program is designed to assist individuals in moving towards self-determination and self-independence.
