What's Included in Our Levels of Care
Our Continuum of Care
A Program That Adjusts as You Grow
From detox coordination through long-term outpatient support, the level shifts as your needs shift — so the program meets you where you actually are.
Detox Referral and Coordination
We coordinate medical detox with trusted partners so your withdrawal is supported, then welcome you into our outpatient continuum once you're stabilized.
Learn more →Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
A full-day, on-site program for women in early recovery. Group therapy, individual sessions, medication management, coping-skill development, and structured days that hold the work together.
Learn more →Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
A half-day program for women further along in recovery who still need clinical structure. More involved than standard outpatient, with the flexibility to begin reintegrating into work, family, or school.
Learn more →Outpatient Program (OP)
Tailored, lower-intensity care: one-on-one counseling, group therapy, and behavioral support for women maintaining sobriety as they rebuild their lives.

Women with trauma histories often arrive in treatment feeling guarded, hyperaware, or emotionally exhausted. A trauma-informed program works to create physical, emotional, and relational safety so women can begin healing without feeling pressured or exposed too quickly.
Understanding the impact of gender: Women may experience trauma in ways shaped by gender, including sexual violence, coercive relationships, exploitation, caregiving pressures, and gender-based discrimination. Treatment should recognize those realities instead of pretending trauma happens in a vacuum.
Addressing the physical effects of trauma: Trauma does not only live in memory. It can also show up in sleep problems, chronic stress, fatigue, pain, digestive issues, panic responses, and difficulty feeling safe in the body. Good care accounts for both emotional and physical impact.
Trauma often strips away a sense of control. Trauma-informed care helps women rebuild agency by offering clear communication, informed choices, collaborative treatment planning, and respect for pacing and boundaries.
Trauma can affect mental health, relationships, self-image, physical well-being, spirituality, and daily functioning. A stronger recovery plan looks at the full picture rather than focusing on one symptom at a time.
Some women carry trauma tied to parenting fears, custody concerns, guilt, family instability, or the pressure of caring for others while neglecting themselves. Treatment should make room for those concerns in a practical and compassionate way.
Trauma is experienced through personal, family, social, and cultural context. Women need treatment that respects identity, background, values, and lived experience rather than assuming every story should be processed the same way.
Trauma recovery is rarely linear. Many women need continued support, repetition, and accountability over time as they build stability, process setbacks, and practice healthier ways of coping.
Many women with trauma histories are used to ignoring their own needs, over-functioning, or surviving in constant stress. Trauma-informed care helps women build self-care as a regulated, sustainable practice rather than a vague ideal.
Trauma, mental health concerns, and substance use often overlap. Treating addiction without addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, or PTSD can leave major relapse drivers untouched.

Our program includes partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient care, alongside detox coordination, dual-diagnosis treatment, and specialty tracks for trauma, eating disorders, and veterans. Each level uses individual therapy, group therapy, evidence-based modalities, and holistic programming in a women-only setting.
Adult women working through alcohol or drug use, often alongside trauma, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, or codependency. We also serve women stepping down from higher levels of care or rebuilding after a relapse. Our veterans and military track and eating-disorder track support women with those specific needs.
We accept most major PPO insurance plans and work with carriers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, UMR, GEHA, Meritain Health, and HealthScope. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your plan and clinical recommendation, so we verify your benefits before any treatment decisions are made.
The length of care depends on what's clinically recommended and where you start. Some women move through PHP, IOP, and outpatient over several months; others step in at a lower level and stay longer. The continuum is built to flex as you grow, not to push you through on a fixed timeline.
A women-only environment changes what's possible in group therapy and day-to-day programming. Women can speak openly about trauma, relationships, motherhood, and recovery without managing the social dynamics of a mixed-gender space — and our trauma-informed care model is built around that.
After admissions and benefits verification, your first week includes a clinical assessment, an intake meeting with your therapist, your first group sessions, and a personalized treatment plan. Our admissions team walks you through what to bring and what to expect before you arrive — contact us when you're ready.
