Butte/Glenn Options for Recovery Program

The Options for Recovery (OFR) Program is a program that recruits and trains foster parents and relative caregivers in Butte and Glenn Counties. Our goal is to have trained and licensed foster homes dedicated to providing care to some of the most vulnerable children in our community in an effective and loving manner.

Every year over 100 children in Butte and Glenn Counties are born into situations that are dangerous for them.  When it is determined that children can longer remain in the care of their parents, the Butte County Department of Employment and Social Services, Children’s Services Division, in collaboration with the Butte County Superior Court, may intervene.   

Children deserve to have a home where they can thrive. At Options for Recovery we are committed to reunifying children with their parents, but until the parents get help and get healthy, we have to keep these children safe.

That’s where you come in. Can you open your home to a baby or toddler in need?

We place children 0-5 (with the exception of sibling groups) in specially trained foster homes and offer support to these children and the families we partner with.

Options for Recovery serves children who are:

• Medically diagnosed with symptoms resulting from, or suspected to be resulting from substance abuse by a parent, and/or HIV Positive

And are: 

• Dependents of the Juvenile Court, newborn to 5 years old, and residents of either Butte or Glenn County.

Here’s how you can help!
