Are you struggling with an alcohol or drug dependency? Are you or a loved one pushing people away? If your answer is “yes” to either question, there is an underlying cause of this behavior. Here at Anchored Tides Recovery, our team of professionals carefully assess each individual’s current mental state and relationship with substances. Our methods were developed by women for women, so you know that when you get help from us, you won’t get distracted in any way. You are a woman with needs that are unique to you. That’s why our treatment methods are also unique, and highly successful. Some of the therapies we use in our outpatient programs include family therapy, mindfulness & meditation, group therapy, and more. Our holistic approach will set you or your loved on the right path to recovery.
THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF ADDICTED WOMEN
How Substance Abuse Affects Women
An addiction is a disease. Plain and simple. It’s not a moral weakness, and it’s certainly not something you need to be ashamed of. Unfortunately, people are often ashamed of having an addiction because they have been told that it’s just something you need to get over, so when they can’t, they see themselves as unique and less than human. This isn’t true. Just as is the case with any other disease, it takes much more than lectures, will power, and other platitudes to conquer an addiction. It takes treatment of working with professionals. It also takes the support of other women who have been in your shoes. The need for gender-specific treatment has never been more important.
At Anchored Tides Recovery, we begin all of our treatment programs by offering participants a relaxing and supportive environment that allows them to take a break and concentrate on receiving the therapy they need to recover, once and for all. Within our environment, this can take several forms. It might be through individualized therapy, where each participant works with a therapist on a one on one basis, depending on their need. You might also work with a group, which gathers women in similar situations together to get mutual support and encouragement. In this environment, you learn that you are never alone and that there really is strength in numbers.
The Benefits of a Women's Drug Rehab
With so many differences between how men and women experience and deal with addiction, it’s a wonder that so many treatment facilities aren’t gender-specific, yet it only makes sense that in treating a disease that is so different for men and women, that the treatment options aren’t different. With Anchored Tides Recovery, we offer only women-specific programs that provide the most personalized approach available.
Right along with women’s addiction treatment center that address addiction, Anchored Tides Recovery offers a whole host of programs that address issues that were neglected during addiction. These include meal planning and cooking, money-management, conflict resolution, resume building, job skills, healthy study habits, etc.
Many people make the mistake of believing that addiction is the same for men and women. This is simply not true. Instead, when it comes to addiction, men and women are very different. Research has shown that women metabolize alcohol less efficiently than men. This is true because women have in their bodies an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase, the impact of which is lessened and keeps alcohol in their bloodstream longer. Further, a woman’s body contains less water and more fatty tissue than men, which stays in their body in higher concentrations. This is why women get intoxicated faster and have worse hangovers than men, even when consuming the same amount of alcohol.
DON'T WAIT ANY LONGER...
Let Our Orange County Women's Rehab Help
When you select an addiction treatment facility, you should choose one where not only is the standard of care high and as personalized as possible, but you should also look for participants who are as similar to you as is possible. Studies have shown that treatment facilities where both men and women are mixed together aren’t nearly as effective as those that are gender-specific. Women obviously identify more closely with other women and their problems as well as their opportunities. Working along with other women, a woman has a better opportunity to experience the feeling of “I’ve been there and can relate” than she would if she was a member of a mixed group.
At Anchored Tides Recovery, seeing really is believing. We believe that once you see our facility and have the chance to see some of the success stories that we have helped bring to life, you will be a believer too. Why not come in today to see why Anchored Tides Recovery is unique and is a program truly made for women’s success in recovery from drugs & alcohol.

A FEW WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS
STORIES OF RECOVERY
5 stars truly isn't enough for this place and all of it's staff. I had a family member who was severely struggling, this place went above and beyond to help her. They were all more than willing to roll up their sleeves and be as helpful as possible. We have so much gratitude for Anchored Tides Recovery and all of the women associated with it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! I encourage you to look no further if you have a female family member struggling with addiction, THIS IS IT!
I would highly recommend anchored tides! I was a client at anchored tides for almost a year and it was such an amazing place to be and played a major part in my recovery. First the owners Becca and Amy are such amazing women who truly care about helping women and run an honest recovery center with great therapists, case managers & staff. This place helped me integrate back into life and always encouraged me throughout the time I was there. I now have almost 18 months sober and am truly blessed by the life I have today and a HUGE thank you goes out to achored tides and all that they did to help to get me where I am at today. I truly couldn’t not say enough good things about this place or the amount of love that I have for everyone here!
What an amazing place Anchored Tides is. As Amy explained when we first visited, girls and women are an afterthought in many treatment programs, which often are founded and structured for boys and men. Anchored Tides’ holistic approach to ALL of the co-existing issues that girls and women face is groundbreaking, and so appreciated. They are wonderful people who do inspiring work and make the world a better place every day. I highly recommend their sober living and IOP. The founders have crucial and relevant lived experiences and care deeply, and they are amazing role models for all the women help.
Thank you Anchored Tides! Thank you for not giving up on me and for teaching me what it means to be a sober woman in recovery. The experience and skills that were provided to me have changed my life and I continue to utilize the skills today. The individualized treatment and support was what set you guys apart from the other programs I had tried (and there were a lot, LOL). All of the staff have a sincere passion to help and an authentic approach that allowed me the space and guidance to implement coping skills and process my distorted thinking. Never before had I felt that it was ok to not be ok AND be loved anyways. My deepest gratitude for helping me change the trajectory of my life.
