About Bi Bett Corp East County Wollam
East County Wollam House is one of Bi-Bett Corporation’s specialized residential programs, located at 2 Davi Avenue in Pittsburg, California. Within Bi-Bett’s broader continuum of care, Wollam House is the perinatal residential program, designed for pregnant women and mothers with young children who are recovering from substance use disorder. The model recognizes that meaningful recovery for these women must address both addiction and the practical realities of parenting young children, and structures treatment so that mothers do not have to choose between treatment and their family.
The clinical model at Wollam draws on a blend of evidence-based therapies. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps residents identify and modify the thought patterns that drive substance use. The Matrix Model, a 16-week intensive program with strong evidence in stimulant use disorder treatment, provides a structured weekly rhythm of individual and group sessions. Trauma-informed counseling acknowledges the elevated rates of past trauma among women entering perinatal treatment, including intimate partner violence, sexual trauma, and adverse childhood experiences, and approaches every clinical encounter with awareness of those histories. Anger management groups and 12-step facilitation round out the therapeutic offering.
Parenting itself is part of treatment. Wollam House integrates parenting skills education and family-inclusive housing so mothers can remain engaged with their children while building the recovery skills they will rely on at home. This integrated approach reflects long-standing public health research showing that perinatal substance use programs that keep mothers and children together produce better outcomes for both.
Bi-Bett Corporation has provided substance use disorder treatment in Northern California since 1969, and the system maintains CARF accreditation. Wollam House accepts Medi-Cal, and payment assistance is available for residents who need additional financial support. Most graduates step down into Bi-Bett’s intensive outpatient programming, maintaining clinical continuity through the early months of postpartum and family reintegration.
