Recovery Homes

MAAC provides a nurturing environment and a feeling of community to individuals seeking a sober lifestyle through our two residential recovery programs, Casa De Milagros and Nosotros.

The programs integrate gender and multicultural influences into a blend of successful substance abuse treatment services.
