Caring and Healing for Both Mothers and Their Children
The residential and detox programs are designed for women, including mothers with children. The campus includes an on-site daycare and play areas, allowing children to stay close while their mothers receive treatment. Parenting classes, family therapy, and case management help mothers rebuild stability, strengthen bonds, and create healthier routines for their families.
Safe, Social Community
This program is exclusively for women, offering a community built on safety, respect, and understanding. The treatment approach is trauma-informed and focused on helping women heal both physically and emotionally. Each woman participates in individual and group therapy sessions, supported by a team that understands the unique challenges women face in recovery. The environment is calm, structured, and nonjudgmental, allowing space for honest reflection and connection with peers who share similar experiences.
A Steady Daily Routine with Emotional Support
Women begin their mornings with breakfast and community meetings before therapeutic groups, education sessions, and individualized counseling. Afternoons feature treatment-focused activities such as trauma processing or parenting education. Evenings are quieter, with shared meals, light activities, and a closure group where women reflect on the day together. This daily routine is designed to help women re-establish healthy habits, accountability, and balance.
Rest and Recovery in a Peaceful Home-Like, Setting
The three-acre campus is located in a quiet residential area. The property includes outdoor courtyards and a volleyball court surrounded by gardens. Living spaces are comfortable and home-like, with family-style dining and outdoor areas designed for connection and relaxation.
