A Women-Only Space for Safety and Healing

The program is designed exclusively for women who are rebuilding their lives in recovery. The private, non-profit facility offers a community-style setting that combines stability and structure. Living arrangements include semi-private rooms and shared spaces, with daily meals and a recreation area on site. The program provides a supportive environment where women can focus on recovery without distractions, building trust and connections with peers who share similar challenges. The women-only setting emphasizes emotional safety and mutual encouragement during the recovery process.

Trauma-Informed, Person-Centered Approach

A trauma-informed model shapes every aspect of care, recognizing the lasting impact of trauma on substance use and recovery. The program emphasizes five guiding principles: safety, trust, empowerment, choice, and collaboration. Women participate in both group and one-on-one counseling sessions that incorporate evidence-based approaches and 12-step facilitation. Specialized counseling addresses anger management, trauma-related issues, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Each resident helps define her own recovery goals.

Preparing for Life After Treatment

Reintegration services are designed to help women move beyond treatment and gain independence in daily life. Staff work with women to create discharge plans that include relapse-prevention strategies, overdose education, and naloxone training. The program connects women to outpatient substance use and mental health providers, as well as primary and specialty medical care. Residents also receive support in education and job readiness, including vocational training, employment counseling, and workshops on practical skills such as budgeting and communication.

A Structured, Recovery-Focused Community

As part of the daily schedule, women participate in self-help groups, life-skills education, and therapeutic group activities. The length of stay varies based on individual needs and may range from a few weeks to several months. Women who are prescribed medications for addiction treatment (MAT) by outside providers can continue them while enrolled. Through shared living, daily routines, and peer accountability, the program strives to create a strong sense of community.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
