Children And Mothers Program (CAMP)
CAMP is the only program in Maine that provides on-site living arrangements and child care services to minor children of mothers in residential treatment for drug or alcohol addiction. Children from 6 weeks to age 10 may live with their mother while she participates in the Residential Rehabilitation treatment program in Windham, Maine.
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.
Child care services are provided while mothers are participating in treatment. Trained child care staff has experience in working with children with behavioral and developmental issues. In addition, Crossroads for Women works with the local Windham schools to ensure a smooth transition for those school-aged children accompanying their mothers in treatment during the academic year.
