Reach for Recovery - Harbor House for Women

Structured Residential Care for Women

Reach for Recovery – Harbor House for Women in Holland, Michigan, provides up to 90 days of residential treatment in a supportive, home-like setting for adult women working to overcome substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. The program offers structure, safety, and consistency to help residents focus fully on recovery.

Trauma-Informed, Evidence-Based Treatment

Clinical care includes individual and group therapy, trauma-related counseling, and medications for addiction treatment (MAT) such as buprenorphine and naltrexone. Evidence-based methods—including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention—are used to build coping skills, support emotional healing, and encourage long-term recovery.

Mother-with-Infant Option and Family Support

Harbor House offers a dedicated mother-with-infant program, allowing women to stay connected to their children during treatment. The facility provides case management, childcare support, and access to social services, helping mothers address housing, legal, and parenting needs while working toward recovery.

Building Independence Through Work and Volunteering

Residents are encouraged to engage in employment or volunteer activities as they progress through treatment. Those who obtain roles may transition to a lighter clinical schedule. The program also provides employment counseling, life-skills training, and peer mentoring to prepare residents for sustained independence and stability.

A Supportive, Nonprofit Community

As part of the nonprofit Reach for Recovery organization, Harbor House emphasizes compassion, accountability, and community. Residents find encouragement through peer groups, recovery coaching, and daily routines that strengthen connection and self-confidence. The environment balances practical comfort—private rooms, air-conditioned spaces, a kitchenette, and transportation assistance—with a focus on lasting personal growth.
