WHEELING, W.Va.- (WTRF) More than thirty million women in the U.S. struggle with mental or drug abuse issues.
Those numbers show a great need for recovery and support programs across the country.
In the Ohio Valley, the WIND program offers a number of services for women committed to their journey to a substance free life.
WIND is offered through the Wheeling YWCA, and stands for Women Inspired in New Directions.
The program includes a specialized staff that provides around the clock treatment to their clients at two secure locations.
Services include case management, support groups, and life skills classes.
They need to rebuild their skills on how to deal with things that are presented to them. They need job coaching, some of them need life skills and this is giving them the structure they need to put those pieces back together.
