Recovery & Motherhood
Should Never Be Separated
"A mother should never have to choose between healing herself and raising her child."
The Midway Mom Project is Griffin, Georgia's first residential recovery program created specifically for pregnant and postpartum women. Here, mothers don't recover away from their children — they heal alongside them.
Women and their children live together on campus in a safe, supportive environment for up to 12 months, giving families the opportunity to rebuild, bond, and break generational cycles together. Because recovery is stronger when motherhood is protected.

What Is the
Midway Mom Project?
A safe place where a mother's recovery and her role as a parent are treated as one — not competing priorities.
The Midway Mom Project offers 12 months of residential care in Griffin, GA for pregnant and postpartum women in recovery. Every program element is designed around one truth: a mother heals best when her children are safe and close.
On-Campus Family Living
Mothers and children share residential space for the full duration of the program — no separation, no distance.
Flexible 12-Month Timeline
Recovery doesn't follow a calendar. Our program provides up to one full year of residential support.
Peer Support from Mothers in Recovery
Our staff includes mothers who have lived this journey — mentors who truly understand what you're facing.
Grant-Funded Access
Supported by the Georgia Opioid Settlement Trust — so cost is never a reason a mother can't get care.
Where Mothers & Children Heal Together
Every element of the Midway Mom Project is built around keeping families intact during recovery — with wraparound clinical, prenatal, parenting, and life-skills support all under one roof.
Grant-Funded Program: The Midway Mom Project is supported by the Georgia Opioid Crisis Abatement Trust, making care accessible regardless of financial circumstances.
Everything You Need. All in One Place.
The Midway Mom Project wraps clinical care, prenatal health, parenting support, and life skills into one comprehensive residential experience.
Certified Addiction Counseling
Individual therapy, psychoeducation groups, and evidence-based relapse prevention — led by certified counselors who understand the unique intersection of addiction, trauma, and motherhood. We treat the whole person, not just the substance use.
Remote Monitoring via Operation M.I.S.T.
Every pregnant mother in the program receives smartwatch health monitoring and real-time blood pressure tracking. Clinical staff receive automatic alerts when readings need attention — so every pregnancy is watched over, every day.
Trauma-Informed Parenting Support
Weekly parenting classes, supervised visitation coordination when needed, and compassionate support that centers family reunification. We partner with DFCS and family court — always advocating for mothers and children to stay together.
Life Skills & Independent Living
Financial literacy, cooking, job readiness, and household management — the practical tools every mother needs to build a stable, independent home for her family after graduation. Leaving isn't an ending; it's what we prepare for from day one.
This Program
Was Built for You
The Midway Mom Project welcomes women who are ready to pursue recovery while staying connected to their children. You don't have to have everything figured out — you just have to take the first step.
Pregnant Women in Recovery
If you're pregnant and struggling with substance use, we offer a safe, medically attentive environment where your recovery and your baby's health are both cared for.
Postpartum Mothers
Recovery after giving birth comes with unique emotional and physical challenges. Our program is designed to support mothers through this tender and demanding season.
Mothers Navigating the Court System
We work directly with DFCS and family courts and can provide documentation and coordination to support reunification and family stability goals.
Women with Co-Occurring Needs
Trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use often travel together — especially in mothers. We're equipped to address the full picture.

Structure is one of the most powerful tools in recovery. Here's a glimpse of what life in our program looks like — organized, supportive, and built around both healing and mothering.
Rise, Routine & Breakfast
The day begins with structure — morning routines with children, a shared meal, and a grounding start. Structure is healing. So is a warm breakfast together.
Group Therapy & Psychoeducation
Clinical programming runs in the morning while younger children are supervised on campus. Topics include trauma, relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and maternal identity.
Life Skills & Parenting Classes
Practical sessions in financial literacy, cooking, household management, and parenting skills — equipping mothers with tools they'll use every day after graduation.
Family Time & Individual Sessions
Afternoons are protected time for mothers and children — plus one-on-one counseling appointments, case management meetings, and health monitoring check-ins.
Peer Support & Community
Evening programming brings the community together — peer-led support groups, shared meals, and the quiet strength of women who understand each other.
Rest & 24-Hour Support
Overnight staff are always present. Whether a baby is fussy or a mother is struggling, support is available around the clock — so no one faces a hard night alone.
Every Pregnancy,
Watched Over
Through Operation M.I.S.T., every pregnant woman in the Midway Mom Project receives continuous remote health monitoring — so clinical staff are always aware, and every mother always feels seen.
When a reading falls outside a safe range, our team reaches out immediately. Prenatal care doesn't stop because a mother is in recovery — it becomes even more important.
Operation M.I.S.T. Health Monitoring
Real-time prenatal tracking through smartwatch technology — giving mothers and our clinical team peace of mind every hour of every day.
Continuous Heart Rate Monitoring
Smartwatch-based tracking flags any concerning patterns in real time.
Blood Pressure Tracking
Daily readings with clinical review — catching hypertension and preeclampsia risk early.
Real-Time Clinical Alerts
When readings need attention, our team is notified immediately and reaches out directly.
Coordinated OB Care
On-site monitoring is paired with coordinated obstetric appointments in the community.
Their Wellbeing
Is Part of the Plan
Children don't just come along for the ride — they are central to it. The Midway Mom Project builds programming around both mother and child, because healing one means caring for both.
On-Campus Residence
Children live with their mothers throughout the program — no separation required.
Supervised Safety
24-hour staffing ensures children are always in a safe, supervised environment.
Developmental Support
Age-appropriate activities, routines, and early childhood support woven into daily life.
Bonding & Attachment
Parenting programming actively supports secure mother-child bonding throughout recovery.
School Enrollment Within 7 Days
Every school-aged child is enrolled in the Griffin-Spalding County School System within one week of arrival. A mother's recovery should never interrupt her child's education.
We Work With
the System for You
Navigating DFCS involvement while in recovery is one of the most stressful things a mother can face. We don't leave you to manage it alone — we walk alongside you as an advocate and a partner.
Direct DFCS Coordination
We communicate directly with caseworkers on your behalf and provide documentation of your participation and progress in treatment.
Family Court Support
Our staff can provide court-ready documentation and coordinate with your attorney and the court to reflect your commitment to recovery and your family.
Reunification as the Goal
Everything we do is oriented around keeping families together — or reuniting them. Your sobriety is the strongest case you can make, and we help you make it.
You Don't Have to Choose Between Getting Well and Being a Mother
The Midway Mom Project exists because we believe both are possible — at the same time, in the same place, with the right support. Call us today and let's talk about what that could look like for you and your family.
