Women’s Programs

Palmer’s unique residential program, the Tulsa Women and Children’s Center (TWCC), provides substance abuse treatment services for pregnant or parenting women. It is one of the few programs in the nation that can accommodate children while their mothers participate in residential treatment. Women, 18 and older, can bring their children, 12 and under, to TWCC while an in-house Children’s Program provides specialized care for their infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers and school-age children. TWCC maintains a dual focus of addressing the women’s chemical dependency needs as well as parenting skills.

The 52-bed center, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, provides 35 therapeutic hours per week of comprehensive drug and alcohol treatment, as well as medical and psychiatric services, mental health therapy, trauma therapy, domestic violence counseling, case management and other wrap around services designed to ensure that clients can move towards self-sufficiency when discharged.

Clients attend therapeutic groups and individual counseling sessions each day, in addition to 7 hours of parenting programming each week. Counseling and education sessions include topics such as Understanding Addiction, Behavior Management, Grief and Loss, Stress/Anger Management, Addressing Trauma, Building Self Esteem, Health and Diet, Nurturing/Parenting and Parenting in Recovery. In addition to these sessions, women attend four hours of process group each week, as well as art therapy and a variety of planned activities in the evening and weekend.
