Women’s Residential Program With 24/7 Care

Demeter House provides intensive residential treatment exclusively for women, including those who are pregnant or postpartum. Located in Arlington, Virginia, the program offers a structured, community-based setting with around-the-clock medical oversight, allowing women to focus on recovery among peers with shared experiences.

Trauma-Informed Therapy and Evidence-Based Counseling

Treatment is grounded in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention, motivational interviewing, and twelve-step facilitation. Trauma-informed care is central to the program, helping women address both substance use and the life experiences that shape it. Core services include individual and group counseling, psychoeducation, and daily exercise to build healthy coping routines.

Medications for Addiction Treatment With Clinical Oversight

When appropriate, the program incorporates medications for addiction treatment (MAT) to reduce relapse risk and support stabilization. Options may include buprenorphine or naltrexone for opioid use disorder, and acamprosate or disulfiram for alcohol use disorder. MAT is provided alongside counseling and behavioral therapies to strengthen long-term recovery.

Recovery Supports and Aftercare Services

Demeter House extends treatment beyond the residential stay with services that promote long-term stability. Family counseling, mental health care, case management, and health education are available, along with housing support, employment counseling, and transportation assistance. Aftercare planning, naloxone education, and alumni programming connect women to community-based support after discharge.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

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.
