2009 Annual ReportNexus Recovery Center

-2-

The mission of Nexus Recovery Center is to serve as a link to sobriety; independence and dignity for low-income women and their families affected by addiction. We inspire hope, offer respect, and honor the unique difference of female addicts.

Healing Programs at Nexus Recovery CenterAdult Women Residential: This program is designed for women ages 18 and older. While living in the dormitory on the Nexus campus, women participate in individual and group counseling on drug and alcohol addiction based on the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Pregnant/Parenting Women with Children: This program allows women ages 18 and older to bring as many as three children with them while they are in residential treatment. It focuses on recovery and parenting.

Adolescent Residential: Teenage girls, including those who are pregnant and parenting, live together in a family-like environment at Nexus while participating in individual, group, and family counseling on drug and alcohol addic-tion based on the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous. The girls attend school on-site with teachers provided by the Dallas Independent School District.

Outpatient Services: Nexus offers outpatient treatment to women as a primary treatment source or as the next step after residential treatment. Clients participate in group and individual counseling with a focus on maintaining sobriety while dealing with the stressors of daily living.

Children’s Services: This program is housed on campus in the Crystal Charity Children’s Center, which was built in 1999 with funding from the Crystal Charity Ball. Children, birth through age 12, accompanying their mothers into treatment participate in various therapeutic and educational activities.

Psychiatric Services: In partnership with UT Southwestern Medical Center, the Nexus medical director and psychiatric fellows provide treatment and education to clients with co-occurring mental illness and chemical addiction.

Aftercare: Nexus offers a place for women to continue re-covery by staying connected with other recovering women. The goal of the Aftercare Program is to transition clients back into society as they face real world issues that can only be talked about while they are in residential treatment.

A Message from ourExecutive Director and President of the BoardNexus has always responded to the changing needs of the women we serve with innovation. We provided on-site childcare with professional staff so women could get treatment without separating from their children. We re-sponded to the implementation of managed care with an acute care model. We integrated psychiatric services with substance abuse treatment to address a growing popula-tion with a dual diagnosis. Completing the continuum of care is the next step in our innovative approach.

A recovering addict, if they are lucky, will often experi-ence a continuum of care which includes detoxification, residential treatment, outpatient treatment and aftercare. If they have access to insurance, family support or other resources, they will most certainly experience a continu-um of care. The women we serve at Nexus often piece to-gether their recovery, facing obstacles that dictate where they must go for any part of the continuum of care. Each time a woman has to interrupt her recovery journey, she is in danger of relapsing.

Each time a woman leaves residential treatment without access to a safe, supportive environment she is also in danger of relapsing. In this annual report we are proud to announce that Nexus was one of five local agencies to receive govern-ment stimulus funds to serve our clients. The funding allows us to pay rent, provide case management, structure and supervised peer support to women leaving Nexus residential programs. Women discharging from our programs benefit from staying con-nected to Nexus staff and clients, many of whom are considered family – their clean and sober family.

Adding access to housing extends our continuum of care at the end. We are now readying ourselves to add detoxification – the beginning of the continuum of care. We know that a woman who has access to the complete continuum of services greatly in-creases her chance of long term sobriety.

This is the principle that guides our drive to complete the continuum of care here at Nexus. The women and families we serve just want their lives back – this is what drives them. We thank you for providing the support that keeps us moving forward.

Sincerely,

A. Rebecca Crowell Chuck Schwartz Executive Director President of the Board

A New “Lease” on Life

Ingrid and her daughter pose in front of a symbolic painting created by her mother when Ingrid was pregnant. Fortunately, the painting was not in her previous apartment which was destroyed by fire.

A young woman stands in front of a painting holding her daughter. The painting is symbolic, given as a gift when the young woman was pregnant. The chair signifies a firm foun-dation, the bag represents travels and adventure, the pillow is comfort. The baby in the painting is the baby yet to come. The hat represents shelter and the window is for opportunity.

The young woman’s mother created the symbolic painting al-most three years ago. Since that time the symbols have taken on many different meanings for the young woman, Ingrid, a recent Nexus graduate living in our newly-created housing program.

Ingrid used drugs socially, experimenting like many teenagers. It became a problem when she discovered methamphetamine in her early twenties. She could stop using off and on, includ-ing a long sobriety period during her pregnancy and for ten months after. Then her daughter’s Dad was sent to prison for drugs. The stress proved to be too much. Ingrid started using again. She lost her job managing a restaurant. The firm founda-tion she had built during and after her pregnancy crumbled.

The bag meant for travels and adventures turned into a bag that would get packed and unpacked often. Like many ad-dicts, she wandered from family to friends staying until she wore out her welcome. Finally her family intervened and brought her to Nexus.

Ingrid was ready but it would be awhile before she could com-fortably lay her head down to rest on both a symbolic and a real pillow. Because of her off and on use of drugs, she was first approved for outpatient treatment only. Ingrid was deter-mined; she knew her best chance for continued sobriety was to participate in the entire continuum of care. She persisted and was finally admitted to residential treatment with her daughter, now a toddler. They stayed for 71 days.

At Nexus Ingrid learned how to respond to her “triggers” – the stresses that lead her to use. She learned coping skills, how to ask for help and how to set boundaries. She learned what it takes to maintain a strong program so her drug use will no longer be “off and on.” Her daughter thrived in services offered for children. They both found shelter at Nexus.

Looking out her window at Nexus, Ingrid hoped for the op-portunity her mother had symbolically placed for her in the painting years before. That opportunity came when Nexus was awarded money from the government stimulus funds. Because of those funds, Ingrid’s lease is paid for while she looks for work, attends the Nexus aftercare program and receives sup-port from her peers living nearby.

Ingrid’s peers living nearby are also recipients of funding from

the government grant. “If I need to call on a neighbor for help, I know it’s not some scary guy,” says Ingrid on a recent visit with the Nexus case manager. “I can ask the other Moms in the program for help with my daughter. ” The women rely on each other, attending frequent “house meetings” and welcom-ing newcomers to the program.

Ingrid’s Nexus family was by her side when she suffered a set-back that could have interrupted her strong recovery program. The apartment she first occupied was in a unit that burned to the ground. She lost everything. Nexus donors including, the Women’s Auxiliary, the Board of Directors and the Town East NA Group helped Ingrid and the other program participants replace all they had lost in the fire.

Luckily Ingrid’s painting was not hanging on a wall in her first apartment. It is now. It hangs as a reminder to Ingrid that foun-dations can be rebuilt. Traveling bags can be replaced. Shelter is available. Opportunity shines just over her shoulder, like light coming in from a window.

The Year in Review

Clinical Trials NetworkNexus Recovery Center is one of six community treatment pro-vider participants in the Texas Node of the Clinical Trials Net-work that conducts nationwide substance abuse research stud-ies funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School is the university hub for the Texas Node. Nexus recently completed work as a site on CTN 31 Stimulant Abuser Groups to Engage in 12-step study (STAGE-12), a study conducted in the outpa-tient program that is examining the role of enhanced 12-step facilitation in treatment completion and sobriety. Nexus was singled out by the national team as the best site in the country in terms of participant recruitment and treatment completion.

Because of the success with the STAGE-12 study, Nexus has been selected to participate in two additional Clinical Trials Network studies, both starting recruitment in 2010. In re-sponse to this expanded research Nexus will open a new Re-search Pavilion. The Research Pavilion was funded by the Nex-us Women’s Auxiliary in 2009 and is expected to open in the summer of 2010. Located on the Nexus campus across from the Pregnant and Parenting Women with Children’s dormitory, the Research Pavilion is a 1,200 square foot building complete with hardwood floors, ceiling fans and track lighting.

Founders Garden Club of DallasEach year the Founders Garden Club of Dallas chooses proj-ects in the community to support. This year marks the second year the club has chosen to support a garden project at Nexus. Members first supported the creation of our Serenity Garden and this year they supported Nexus by planting an organic gar-den with vegetables to supplement meal choices and flowers to decorate tables in the cafeteria. The Founders Garden Club of Dallas began in 1938 with fifty members. In 1940, after inspection of the founders and their gardens, Founders Garden

Club was elected into the Garden Club of America. Nexus sup-porters who are also members of the club include: Catherine Corrigan, Sarah Jane Francis, Elisa Hammack, Gloria Ham-mack, Caroline Rose Hunt, Sue John, Nancy Lemmon and Helen Storey.

HomeAid/Home Builders CareHomeAid/Home Builders Care has chosen Nexus as its next project site as we prepare to build our new adolescent dormi-tory. HomeAid is a revolutionary public/private/non-profit partnership program designed to increase the number of shel-ter beds utilizing its expertise to identify effective, reputable shelter providers in local communities who are in need of new or expanded facilities. The builders associated with HomeAid leverage their relationships with local contractors and suppli-ers in getting supplies donated or at a reduced cost. This has resulted in a savings of 40% in many cases. We look forward to working with HomeAid Executive Director Sherry Turner and her community team to help us build our new adolescent dor-mitory at or below our original estimate, making the best use of donated funds from the capital campaign. Just as HomeAid relies on its community partners to get supplies donated or at a reduced cost, we rely on our Women’s Auxiliary and Board of Directors to connect us to community partners. We are grate-ful to Auxiliary Member Barbara Shefferly for introducing us to HomeAid/Home Builders Care.

HUD FundingQuite often our discharging clients face difficulty finding safe housing due to length of sobriety requirements and affordabil-ity. Nexus clients leaving residential treatment may have be-tween two weeks and three months sobriety and are not eligible for some programs, many of which require at least six months of sobriety. Because of this difficultly finding safe, affordable housing for discharging clients we were excited when Nexus was one of five Dallas agencies awarded a contract in the very competitive granting process for government stimulus funds.

The grant contract comes through the City of Dallas and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP). This is the first time Nexus has been able to directly access HUD funding for our clients. Rents are paid by the grant for up to 18 months, depending on the participant’s job situation. Once the woman is safely back on her feet she can take over the lease, stay connected to her peer support group and continue to attend Nexus aftercare.

New Medical DirectorNexus welcomes new Medical Director Dr. Eliot deGravelles, a psy-chiatrist with a back-ground in community psychiatry and women’s mental health issues. He has extensive experience in working with indi-viduals with addictive and psychiatric disorders through Parkland Hos-pital. Dr. deGravelles is currently an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at UT South-western and serves in a shared position with Nexus and the medical school. Dr. deGravelles comments, “It is really a joy to work where the staff and administration are so committed to the mission. It is also great working with a female population because of women’s central role in families. When we can affect a woman’s life we know we are affecting the entire family.”

North Texas Community Wealth CollaborativeNexus was chosen, along with seven other nonprofit agen-cies, to participate in the 2009-10 North Texas Community Wealth Collaborative. The second year of a three-year initia-tive, the collaborative is led by Community Wealth Ventures, Inc. and the Center for Nonprofit Management. The partner-ship is funded by The Meadows Foundation, the Amon G. Carter Foundation, the Harold Simmons Foundation, the Citi Foundation and several anonymous sources. The collaborative involves an intensive, 11-month business planning process that teaches nonprofit agencies successful techniques to grow and develop high-performing earned income ventures. Nexus ap-preciates the skills gained and the focused time spent on ex-ploring the possibilities of launching sober living facilities to extend our mission and revenue sources. “We have been able to ‘dip our toe’ into the very large project of providing transitional housing for all of the women leaving Nexus,” comments Direc-tor of Development and Public Relations Abby Foster, “The collaborative provided us the structure to develop a plan; the HUD funding gives us the chance to try out this plan.”

Saks Fifth Avenue Saks Fifth Avenue has partnered with Nexus since early 2007, providing fashion shows and several donor events. These events have introduced Nexus to potential donors, acknowledged Women’s Auxiliary members and other donors, and helped to announce our capital campaign. We are grate-ful to Karen Olivarri and Becky Morris of Saks Fifth Avenue for their contin-ued support and creativ-ity in developing ways to make Nexus known in the community. Their creativ-ity was evident in a pro-motion which took place during the month of Sep-tember. Four pylons fea-turing information about Nexus were strategically placed just inside the mall entrance at the Dallas Galleria. Each three-sided pylon included a photo of a board member and their story about why they support Nexus, the photo of a client, facts about substance abuse in Dallas, and Nexus statistics. There was also an information table encourag-ing community volunteers to join the Women’s Auxiliary.

WestapherSince 2004 Nexus has benefit-ed from the generosity of the Preston Center Rotary Club and their annual Westapher Golf Charity. The 2009 golf tournament was held at the Golf Club of Dallas. The dinner and auction, held the night before the tournament, took place at the home of Board Member Kathy Dono-van and former U.S. Ambas-sador Robert Jordan. We are grateful to the following ma-jor sponsors: American Air-lines, Grizzaffi Darby, MeGuire’s Print & Graphics, George Lewis Custom Homes and Santé Center for Healing.

Spotlight on Nexus ProgramsAdolescentNexus continues to be  one of only a handful of drug treat-ment centers in the state that allow women to bring their chil-dren with them and the only one for late-term pregnant or parenting teens. As a result, pregnant and parenting girls can come here and focus on their unique needs including receiving prenatal care and participating in our parenting classes. In ad-dition, the number of adolescents “graduating” to outpatient services continues to grow. This is due in part to the counselors’ ability to make home visits through the Cannabis Youth Train-ing (CYT) curriculum provided by the state.

Children’s Services This year Children’s Services Director Natalie Ridley Baerwaldt became a Certified Prevention Specialist. She was awarded this credential after meeting extensive requirements which included 100 hours of prevention education, a successful score on the prevention examination and 2,000 hours of prevention work experience. Working with the Nexus kids with programs like the SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) Children’s Program Kit and GUS contributed to Natalie’s successful completion.

Growing Up Strong (GUS) was recently im-plemented at Nexus. Most prevention programs are geared for school age children. GUS is unique because it is a mental wellness and substance abuse prevention curriculum for preschool children. “It’s more than ‘just say no’ to drugs,” Natalie emphasizes when she describes the program. “The message to say no to drugs is there along with coping skills, problem solving and taking responsibility.” Natalie’s prevention activities aren’t limited to her work with the kids and their Moms at Nexus. She is also involved on a community level as a member of the Dallas County Alliance for Drug Endangered Children.

MedicalAs a Joint Commission accredited facility, Nexus is required to provide a physical examination to all clients within five days of admission. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Sandra Debiparshad is well-qualified to facilitate these examinations in addition to her other responsibilities. “My job is quite all-encompassing

and quite rewarding as a result,” comments Debiparshad. In ad-dition to providing physical examinations, Sandra works closely with new Medical Director Dr. Eliot deGravelles to address the needs of our clients with a dual-diagnosis. As an important part of the medical team, she performs psychiatric evaluations, fa-cilitates groups and provides medication management.

OutpatientThe Outpatient Program’s proudest achievement for 2009 hangs on a door. It’s a plaque that bears the following words: “In recognition of the dedication, hard work, and perseverance in making Nexus Recovery Center the BEST SITE in the NIDA Clinical Trials Network Stimulant Abusers Group to Engage in 12-Step Study.” Because of the funding that comes as a result of our participation with the Clinical Trials Network (CTN), the Outpatient Program was able to add a case manager to their team. For more information about Nexus’ participation in the CTN, see the story on page 6.

Pregnant/Parenting Women with Children (PPWC)PPWC was able to add a smoking cessation program with start-up funding from our Women’s Auxiliary. The new pro-gram, named Healthy Choices, furnishes nicotine replacement therapy in the form of patches, gum, and lozenges. The pro-gram also offers a positive approach with incentives based on a point system. Another addition this year is our collaboration with Elisabeth Holland and her Project Matthew, which facili-tates a weekly group at Nexus. Project Matthew is a faith based parenting, childbirth and life skills education and support pro-gram focused on mothers who may be incarcerated in county and state jails or residents in domestic violence and homeless shelters in Dallas.

Adult WomenA primary focus of the program this year has been enhanc-ing staff and programming to better serve clients with multiple problems to give them the best chance for continued health and sobriety. “Many of our clients come directly from men-tal hospitals, jail or the streets and have not had their men-tal health issues properly treated, exacerbating their substance abuse problems,” said Cindy Seamans, PhD., director of the Adult Women Program. “Unless we can get their mental health issues stabilized, they are likely to relapse, using street drugs to self-medicate and cover up their symptoms.” To supplement the efforts of the Nexus medical staff, the intern program has been expanded to add additional Doctoral level, and Master’s level psychology and counseling students.

Women’s Auxiliary of NexusThe mission of the Women’s Auxiliary of Nexus is to support and promote the interests of Nexus Recovery Center, Inc. by building a strong and active member-ship, by stimulating public awareness and by helping in the financial support of Nexus’ services and projects.

Beyond the MissionTo serve their mission this year the Women’s Auxiliary of Nexus reached an all time high of 320 members. Also in direct support of their mission the Auxiliary continued to host events including the Fall Membership Tea, a new members’ coffee, several “friend raising” events, the Holiday Bazaar and the Spring Luncheon. Finally, the third part of their mission was served by raising money to support Adolescent Program operating funds, the new research building, a smoking cessation program for PPWC clients and updated equipment for our Crystal Charity Children’s Center.

Much of what the Women’s Auxiliary does for Nexus goes beyond their mission. Each year volunteers create imaginative and uplifting holiday par-ties for children staying on campus with their mothers. Women’s Auxiliary members participated in the development of our serenity garden and con-nected us to the Founders Garden Club of Dallas. In addition to referring us to HomeAid/Home Builders Care, member Barbara Shefferly manages our clothes closet. At the prompting of Auxiliary President Leigh Olson, new member Gwen Brooks initiated a volunteer massage night for our clients. Just completing its twelfth year, the Women’s Auxiliary continues to be a vital partner in the agency’s success.
