Recovery home fights opioid epidemic by helping moms
Maryville’s St. Monica Recovery Home is making strides helping mothers grapple with the effects of the opioid crisis on them and their children. The home, which opened in October 2016 in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, provides residential substance abuse treatment to women between 18 and 35 and their children up to 10. The women can keep their children with them and they also receive vocational training.
