Care for Women and Mothers

Understanding that recovery often looks different for women, especially mothers balancing healing with caregiving, the program welcomes mothers with children ages five and under. Family-friendly spaces such as playrooms and low-sensory areas allow mothers to stay engaged in care without dividing families.

Integrated Mental Health, Trauma-Informed, and Addiction Care

Licensed clinical staff and counselors use evidence-based therapies to help women understand how stress, trauma, and substance use interact. The trauma-informed environment emphasizes safety and trust, allowing women to process experiences without judgment and learn new coping skills for lasting wellness.

Mind, Body, and Spirit

Daily structure includes individual and group therapy, education on recovery and self-care, and participation in 12-Step meetings. These meetings help women connect with supportive peers and find community in recovery. Holistic approaches to recovery also help women regain calm and confidence.

Calm Space Reflects Recovery Philosophy

Located on 40 acres in the rolling foothills of southeastern Ohio, this space is quiet and restorative. Communal areas, outdoor seating, and simple, home-like surroundings are designed to encourage comfort and focus.

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.

The Joint Commission

The Joint Commission is one of the most trusted names in healthcare. If a rehab center has this accreditation, it means they meet strong national standards for safety, treatment quality, and staff training.

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.
