What Nexus Recovery Center does

Nexus Family Recovery Center (formerly Nexus Recovery Center) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1971 and headquartered at 8733 La Prada Drive in Dallas, Texas. It provides a continuum of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs exclusively for women and their families, including residential services, medical services with medication-assisted treatment (MAT), outpatient programs, a specialized Pregnant and Parenting Women with Children (PPWC) program, a licensed on-campus Nexus Child Development Center for children ages 0–12, alumni and aftercare (Nexus Generations), and family education. It is the only treatment center in North Texas that accepts women in the late stages of pregnancy and allows up to three children to accompany their mothers into treatment, and it has held Joint Commission accreditation since 2006. Each day the campus serves approximately 100 adults and 25 children, and over 3,500 women have been supported across its 53+-year history.

The organization's revenue model is non-commercial: services are provided regardless of ability to pay, with revenue composed of program service fees, foundation and government grants, and approximately 35% of the operating budget sourced from private fundraising, major-donor campaigns, peer-to-peer platforms (Facebook Fundraising, JustGiving), and signature events such as the Mothers' Brunch and Bazaar, Pathways to Possibilities, Duck Derby, and the LJ Companies Sporting Clay Shoot. Go-to-market is community-led and referral-driven through 60+ DFW Metroplex partners (hospitals, mental health providers, CPS caseworkers, homeless shelters), supplemented by direct campus admissions. Currently, Nexus is executing the $86 million five-phase "Recovery Rising" capital campaign, with the $4M-funded Doswell Medical Building having opened May 1, 2025, and Phases 2–5 (Moms & Children dormitory, Adult Women & Groups, Outpatient & Admin, Community & Support) running through 2031 with the stated objective of doubling service capacity.

Nexus rebranded in September 2024 to Nexus Family Recovery Center and is led by CEO Heather Ormand alongside newly promoted CFO Mackeshia Brown, Chief Programs Officer Emily Parham, COO Charles Betts, and Chief Philanthropy Officer Cameron Hernholm. It maintains a board-led governance model, has 200+ annual volunteers, and operates regional subsidiaries/brands including the Young Supporters Council, Nexus Auxiliary, Pathways to Possibilities (sustaining donors), Strong Like a Mother, and Nexus Generations alumni network.
