(WEST PALM BEACH, FL) -- Gratitude House will hold its 23rd annual fashion show luncheon on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009 at 11:00 am. The event will be held at the Mariott Hotel in West Palm Beach, and will include a silent auction. Chairmen for the event are Janice Rivella and Libbie Delosh, and the fashion show, produced by Rose Meyerowich, will feature fashions from various local retailers.

Located at 1700 North Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach, Gratitude House provides treatment for women with drug and alcohol dependency issues, as well as parenting classes and life skills that make it possible to live independent, substance-free sober lives. The women are provided with the tools to deal successfully with their addictions and choose a better way of life. They are given an opportunity to look at what circumstances in their past may have brought them to the point of chemical dependency.

Gratitude House is one of the only facilities in the country that treats pregnant women and women with infants. The " Mothers & Infants in Treatment Together (MITT) program is specifically designed so that newborns and infants can live in residence with their mothers as they receive chemical dependency treatment. Unlike traditional models that ask women to choose between drug treatment and continuing to parent their infants, MITT allows infants to receive therapeutic services concurrent to their mother's treatment.

The mission is to offer rehabilitation and support services with dignity and respect to the chemically dependent female in a nurturing, safe and caring environment. It provides top quality, individualized programs to women in need of help without regard for race, religion, political preference or their personal financial capacity, in a loving, wholesome atmosphere. Its primary purpose is to return such women to society as self-sufficient, productive citizens.
