Queen of Peace Center is an exclusively female recovery program for low-income, homeless and near-homeless chemically dependent women and their children, specializing in treatment for pregnant women. QOPC began serving the community in June 1985 as an affiliate of Catholic Charities of St. Louis to support women recovering from substance abuse. The agency incorporated as not-for-profit in December 1991 and opened its CSTAR (Comprehensive Substance Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation) program. Queen of Peace Center is accredited by The National Council of Accreditation for Children and Families: certified by the Department of Mental Health Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse and Division of Comprehensive Psychiatric Services; licensed by The City of St. Louis Department of Health and the State of Missouri Department of Health.
