Brookes House

Long-term residential treatment designed for women

Brooke’s House offers residential substance use treatment for women who are recovering from alcohol, opioid, and other substance use disorders. Clients typically stay in treatment for 3 to 6 months; those with complex needs or co-occurring disorders may require longer stays. Admission is by referral only.

Employment opportunities and education built into residential recovery

A key feature of this program is the emphasis on helping women become financially independent while in treatment. Workforce development programs provide job readiness training and opportunities for job placement. Clients can also pursue their GEDs, receive college preparation support, and develop practical skills for employment and independent living.

A combination of traditional counseling and experiential and wellness-focused activities

Traditional treatment is used alongside holistic approaches. Equine therapy gives clients opportunities to work with horses to develop trust and emotional awareness. Acudetox, a form of ear acupuncture, is also offered as a way to help clients manage stress and trauma symptoms and promote relaxation. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are available when appropriate, and the facility provides transportation to primary medical and dental appointments.

A structured, home-like environment with opportunities for family connection

Brooke’s House is intentionally designed to provide a welcoming environment with shared living spaces where clients can spend time together. Days follow a structured schedule with therapy, group activities, education, and recreation. Women are introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) to help establish peer connections. Personal cell phone use is restricted to certain times, and scheduled family visits and phone calls are permitted, though communication may be limited or monitored to support treatment.

Continued support after residential treatment

Clients have multiple options within the same organization after residential treatment. Brooke’s House offers transitional housing for clients who need a safe, stable place to stay. Ongoing treatment is available through an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and standard outpatient counseling. Aftercare includes recovery support groups, alumni activities, and follow-up meetings.
