Bethel Recovery, located in Bridgeport was established in March 1991 by Janice Kelly, a Licensed Practical Nurse and recovered addict since 1986 who knows all too well the many obstacles her clients face. Kelly, the executive director, serves as a strong role model to women who enter the program. When a woman comes to the Bethel Recovery Center, Inc.,her life is in turmoil. She may have been homeless, HIV positive, have multiple diagnoses, or be in danger of losing her children. The women who come to Bethel often lack basic living skills, so self-sufficiency skills are taught. Some women have medical conditions that have been neglected and must be addressed.
