One Year.
Real Change.
Our residential program isn't a quick fix. It's a full year of structure, support, evidence-based treatment, and skill-building that prepares you to actually live independently when you leave.
Who This Program Is For
Women seeking recovery from substance use disorder who are ready to commit to a year of intensive work. That's it. Whether you have kids or not, whether you're working toward reunification or building your recovery solo, whether you're pregnant or postpartum or neither—if you're a woman ready to do this work, we're here.
How It Works: Four Phases
Phase 1: Foundation (Months 1-3)
The first 90 days are about building a foundation. You'll attend 90 recovery meetings in 90 days (yes, really—it's called "90 in 90" for a reason). You'll meet weekly with our Program Coordinator, participate in daily routines, start working the steps, and begin developing a crisis plan. The curriculum focuses on REBT—Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy—which helps you identify and challenge the thoughts driving your substance use.
We also do something called a Recovery Capital Assessment when you arrive, and then every 45-90 days after that. It measures your personal, social, cultural, and material resources—basically, what you have going for you in recovery. Watching those numbers climb is powerful. Once a month, you sit down with your people—your family, your friends, your CPS caseworker if you have one, your sponsor, your therapist, whoever's in your corner—and we all talk together about how you're doing and what comes next.
Phase 2: Building Independence (Months 4-6)
You're still doing daily routines and meetings, but now it drops to 4-6 meetings per week (4 if you're employed, 6 if not). The curriculum shifts to SMART Recovery and career planning aligned with your actual strengths and interests.
You have to expand your Recovery Team by at least two people during this phase. It's about building a support network that'll last beyond this program.
Phase 3: Deepening (Months 7-9)
Same routines, same meeting requirements. The curriculum goes deeper: nervous system work, emotional intelligence, relationship skills. This is where you start really understanding why you used and how to navigate relationships and emotions without going back to old patterns.
Phase 4: Transition (Months 10-12)
The final stretch is all about preparing to leave. You're securing your own housing, making sure your employment is stable, building safety plans, strengthening your support network. By the time you graduate, you're not just sober—you're ready.
What Graduation Looks Like
To graduate, you complete 52 weeks, participate in at least 12 Recovery Team Meetings with at least four new people joining your support network along the way, and finish all 12 Steps. You also need stable employment or school enrollment and housing lined up for when you leave.
Some graduates stay for up to 18 months total, volunteering 5 hours a week as peer mentors for newer residents. It's a way to give back and keep building your own foundation.
What We Provide
Recovery Team Meetings
Once a month, you sit down with your people—your family, your friends, your CPS caseworker if you have one, your sponsor, your therapist, whoever's in your corner—and we all talk together about how you're doing and what comes next.
Most programs keep your support system at arm's length. We bring them into the room. We make them part of your recovery plan. By the time you graduate, you're required to have at least 12 of these meetings with at least four new people added to your original team. That's not busy work—that's building a network that'll still be there when you leave here.
This is rare in recovery housing. And it's one of the biggest reasons our graduates stay sober.
One-on-one Support
You meet individually with our Program Coordinator at least once per week. This isn't just check-in time—it's where you work through what's really going on, set goals, tackle challenges, and adjust your plan as you grow. You meet individually with our Recovery Coach at least once per week. She's been through it. She gets it. And she's not just staff—she's proof that this works.
Recovery Capital Assessments
When you arrive, we do a baseline assessment measuring your personal, social, cultural, and material resources—everything from your physical health to your support network to your financial stability. Then we do it again every 45-90 days. Watching those numbers climb gives you concrete proof that you're building something real.
Case Management
Help finding work. Navigating healthcare. Searching for housing for after graduation. Learning to budget. Pursuing your GED or vocational training or college. We don't just tell you to do these things—we help you actually do them.
Life Skills Training
Cooking. Cleaning. Managing conflict. Communicating without blowing everything up. Organizing your time. Planning a career. All the stuff you need to actually live independently.
For Mothers
If your children are with you, they live here too. We have childcare support during programming so you can fully engage without worrying about your kids.
If you're working toward reunification, we support in-house visitation where you can see your children, and we'll coordinate with your CPS caseworker to support that process.
If you're pregnant, we provide prenatal care coordination and specialized postpartum support.
Getting Started
We offer a 9-week grace period—no program fees for your nine weeks, so you can focus entirely on recovery without financial stress. We also provide groceries for your first four weeks at no cost.
After that, there are affordable program fees that help sustain operations. Financial barriers shouldn't keep you from getting help—talk to us.
