Brigid's Path a path forward for you and your baby

Brigid’s Path is a 24/7 family-centered program that provides medical care for babies who are going through withdrawal from prenatal substance exposure. We support moms (and the whole family) by connecting them with the resources they need to move forward with healing and recovery.  We care for babies who have been exposed to any substance – not just opioids; this may include a mother’s prescribed medication, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) such as methadone, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, alcohol, or others. Brigid’s Path is not affiliated with any religious institution. 

About Us

Babies with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) are different than typical newborns and even from other sick babies. Our nursing staff is specially trained to provide customized care for each baby, focusing on holding, rocking and soothing them.  

Our care model features low stimulation, high-touch, and on-demand care. Because of this, we are often able to avoid giving medication to babies while they wean off the substances they were exposed to before birth.  

We encourage parents and caregivers to room in as much as possible with the baby and to bond with the baby (reading, playing, and lots of snuggles).  

Babies can stay with us for up to 90 days, but we will support them and their families for as long as they need us. We currently have open beds available and can accept babies who are at least 24 hours old. 

Our Infant Care Program

Brigid’s Path is a safe, judgement-free place for our families. We provide wrap-around care for mom/family to support their recovery, with the goal of keeping mom and baby together whenever possible.  

We offer:

• Advocacy with Children’s Services
• Support for housing
• Care coordination with medical providers
• Transportation to/from Brigid’s Path
• Support parent-child bonding
• Connections with community resources
• Parenting classes
• Support for postpartum depression
• Well-being and healing activities for long-term recovery

We also offer prenatal care. A Brigid’s Path family advocate provides a tour and meets with the mother/parents, completes a needs assessment, offers preliminary Children’s Services advocacy, prenatal healthcare assistance, labor support, and prenatal coaching.  

Moms and Moms to Be

There is no cost to our families for the services we provide. We are funded through donations, grants, and Medicaid.  

We accept self-referrals by phone, email, walk-ins, or on our website. You do not need a doctor’s referral to come to Brigid’s Path.

If you are with a community agency that works with people with substance-use disorders, you can refer them to us at any time before, during or after their pregnancy. We will evaluate each request and determine how we can best support them and their baby.

Donate

Since our beginning, we have operated with a spirit of hope and optimism, relying heavily on donations and grants to fund our organization.

Beginning in 2026, Brigid’s Path receives Medicaid reimbursement for our infant care program. While this reliable revenue source is essential, it covers only a small portion of the care we provide to families. Additional funding from private individuals, foundations and grants makes up the rest of our budget. We cannot do this work without your support.

Consider making a monthly gift and joining our Circle of Hope. Your steady, ongoing support will ensure our doors remain open for every baby and mom who needs us.

Volunteer

We depend on caring volunteers so we can help even more families who come to us for care. There are many ways to volunteer, not just cuddling babies (although that’s what many people are interested in!). We always need help with cleaning, organizing donations, helping at the front desk, light computer work, helping with fundraising events and family parties.
