To date, the Spectrum Charitable Foundation has raised nearly $1.5 million for the construction of a new Women and Children’s Center on Spectrum’s 16-acre treatment campus in Westborough, Massachusetts. Once constructed, this state-of-the-art facility will accommodate Spectrum’s award-winning Women and Children’s Program.

Participants of the Women and Children’s Program include pregnant and post-partum women experiencing problems with alcohol and other drugs. Children up to the age of three may live with their mothers at the facility. The program is based on the principle that women have the ability, given appropriate resources, to make positive changes in their lives. By remaining with their children, women develop healthy bonding and learn essential parenting skills, while receiving the treatment they need.

The new facility is designed to provide a safe, supportive and welcoming environment for twenty-six women and thirteen children. It also shows the women and children that we respect their dignity and want to provide them with an atmosphere that promotes recovery and reflects the quality of our services.

Spectrum hopes to conclude the final phase of the capital campaign this year. We invite you to help make this dream a reality, either by renewing a past pledge or offering your support for the first time. Consider the satisfaction in knowing your contribution helped rebuild the lives of women with no place else to turn, enabling them to care for their children and lead healthier, more productive lives.
