Local and Global Advocate for Substance Use Disorder

We love the innovative substance use disorder programs of Shields for Families. These programs are offered not just locally but all over the country.

If you’re a woman with a child under the age of 18 who experiences substance abuse, their Genesis program is a great option to consider. Available in both Spanish and English, this compassionate outpatient service is available even if your child is in need of intensive help.

Their ARK program is geared toward adults with substance use dependency through the utilization of benefits like general relief, AB 109, and court mandates. If you have an open case or if you’re on parole or probation, the ARK program may be for you.

Additionally, Shields for Families has a Revelation program for adolescents who experience both mental health difficulties and substance use disorders. While referrals are accepted, individuals can also receive Revelation program services via walking in with no appointment.
