Peer-Led Social Model Recovery for Women

Sun Street Centers - Women Residential Program provides 24-hour residential treatment for women seeking recovery from drug and alcohol use disorders. The program follows a Social Model approach that emphasizes mutual support, shared responsibility, and learning through lived experience. Residents are encouraged to take active roles in their recovery through peer accountability, resident council participation, and regular involvement in 12-step meetings and sponsorship.

Matrix-Based Education Paired With Counseling and Family Support

Treatment includes structured recovery education focused on early recovery skills, communication, and relapse awareness. The program uses the Matrix Model curriculum to support relapse prevention and family education. Residents also participate in individual and group counseling with certified substance use counselors, along with family empowerment counseling sessions and support groups. Services are available in both English and Spanish.

A Home-Like, Perinatal-Friendly Residential Environment

The program serves adult women, including pregnant and postpartum women and women parenting young children. Treatment takes place in a Victorian-style residential home designed to feel non-institutional, with shared bedrooms and bathrooms, communal living and dining spaces, and a fenced outdoor yard. All meals are provided, and on-site laundry helps residents maintain daily routines while focusing on recovery. Living spaces are arranged to accommodate mothers and young children when needed.

Aftercare and Practical Supports for Life Beyond Treatment

Support continues beyond residential care through weekly alumni aftercare. The program also connects residents to practical recovery supports such as peer mentoring, recovery coaching, transportation assistance, help accessing social services, housing support, and employment counseling or training. These services are intended to help women transition out of residential treatment with greater stability and community connection.

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.
