Women-Focused Residential Treatment

The residential program offers a dedicated, women-only space designed to provide safety and belonging during recovery. Clients live in a 24-hour therapeutic environment supported by professional staff who understand the complexities of addiction and recovery. As part of Cenikor’s full continuum of care, women can transition seamlessly between residential, outpatient, and aftercare programs without losing access to their established treatment team or support network.

Evidence-Based Care With Peer Support

Treatment integrates evidence-based therapies that address both the emotional and behavioral aspects of addiction. Clients participate in individual and group counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and relapse prevention. The program also incorporates 12-step meetings and mindfulness-based approaches such as yoga. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) can be prescribed as needed to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Certified peer specialists with lived experience in recovery offer one-on-one coaching and facilitate life skills groups.

Practical Case Management

Transportation assistance and on-site child care ensure that treatment remains accessible to women balancing family responsibilities. Case managers help clients navigate community resources and connect to housing, employment, and social services as needed. Education and counseling services are offered, as well as regular health monitoring.

Recovery Coaching and Aftercare

The center’s Recovery Support Services (RSS) and aftercare programs provide long-term follow-up at no additional cost. Clients can continue working with peer coaches for up to a year after discharge, receiving help with vital documents, employment readiness, and community reentry. Aftercare extends for up to two years, offering group sessions, relapse prevention training, and check-ins.

Accessible and Affordable

The program is built to serve a wide range of women, including older adults, veterans, and members of military families. It also supports individuals with co-occurring disorders, survivors of trauma or domestic violence, and clients living with HIV or AIDS. Services are offered in an inclusive, respectful environment that provides sign-language interpretation for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Payment assistance is available to clients with limited financial means.

Quality and Trust

A

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

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.
