Gender-Responsive Care in a Historic Home

Miracle House delivers residential treatment in a landmark Los Angeles residence designed for women facing substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. The program is tailored for adult women, including those who are pregnant, postpartum, or involved with the child welfare or justice systems, and offers a structured environment with 24/7 support.

Trauma-Informed, Culturally Competent Programming

Clients receive evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Seeking Safety, and Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), along with groups focused on parenting, grief and loss, and healthy relationships. The team includes bilingual staff trained in LGBTQ+ inclusivity and trauma-informed care. Services are available in English and Spanish.

Support Beyond Clinical Care

Miracle House emphasizes stability beyond treatment. Clients access case management, housing and benefits support, legal coordination, and vocational training. Nutrition counseling, structured wellness routines like yoga and gardening, and onsite transportation assistance help address the broader social factors that impact recovery.
