Faith-Based Recovery for Women

This is a 24-hour residential program for women seeking to recover from addiction and co-occurring mental health challenges. Rooted in camaraderie and Christian values, the facility helps women explore trauma and addiction while building a community supportive of their recovery. The program integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, relapse-prevention strategies, and 12-Step facilitation

Practical Support for Rebuilding Life

Women prepare for life after formal treatment through case management, transportation and housing assistance, mentoring and peer support, and employment counseling or training. Clients also participate in health and substance use education, as well as individual, group, and family counseling. These services are designed to remove barriers and strengthen the foundation for stability after treatment.
