Community residential care just for women

The program houses 18 women at a time, allowing for a smaller group environment for women to focus on their recovery and create peer bonds to support one another. Care consists of structured, intensive days filled with groups, educational workshops, and individual counseling sessions. Treatment is tailored to each woman’s needs based on an intake assessment with a counselor and a nurse. Admissions are mostly walk-in, and women are admitted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Therapies

Women participate in addiction recovery programming along with treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Trauma care is also available. Therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), trauma counseling, and 12-Step meetings. Spirituality groups are offered, and services are provided for families to support loved ones in their recovery journey.

Employment support, life skills, and housing

Preparation for life after residential treatment is a key part of the program. Women engage in community life skills education and training and are supported in obtaining employment and housing before treatment ends. This gives women a springboard to get on their feet and work toward long-term stability.

Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and aftercare

Medications can be prescribed as needed to help ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings. These include MAT such as buprenorphine and naltrexone for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Women can step down to outpatient treatment within the broader Ascensa Health network, which also offers withdrawal management (detox) for women who need this intensive clinical attention before starting residential care. Women are connected to peer support and self-help services as part of their discharge plans.
