Gender-Specific Residential Care in a Structured Setting

The facility provides gender-specific residential treatment programs for adult men and women facing substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health challenges. This nonprofit facility delivers care that addresses the distinct recovery needs of each group, including a specialized track for veterans. Programs integrate strength-based, trauma-informed treatment with peer support and structured living.

12-Step Integration and Peer Mentorship

Twelve-step principles are woven into the recovery model. The facility offers on-site Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings and introduces clients to the structure and community of 12-step recovery. Participation in these programs helps clients build accountability and a shared language of healing. Peer support is also a core element, with mentoring opportunities and group therapy designed to foster trust and long-term motivation.

Dual Diagnosis and Veteran-Focused Treatment

For individuals managing both addiction and mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or anxiety, the program offers integrated treatment grounded in evidence-based practices. Specialized care is available for veterans, with programming tailored to military-related challenges, including trauma, reintegration stress, and grief, with an emphasis on resilience and community.

Support for Long-Term Stability

Life after residential care is supported through employment training and education services. These components are designed to help clients develop practical skills and confidence for reentering the workforce or pursuing further education. The facility also connects alumni to ongoing recovery networks and volunteer opportunities. Help finding housing arrangements is offered as needed.

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.
