First recovery center for women and their children launches in New Orleans
November, 21 2025
Many women in New Orleans have never been able to consistently stay with their children throughout treatment. But on Tuesday, Nov. 25, VOASELA held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Canal Pointe, New Orleans’ only family-centered residential treatment and recovery facility for pregnant women and mothers with children. The site, a former auto dealership across from University Medical Center, has been transformed into a 31-room center where families will live together for about 90 days while the parent goes through treatment.
“It’s going to take everyone to make it work,” said Voris Vigee, CEO and president of VOASELA.
The facility will accept women from across Louisiana.
