Womens Recovery ServicesA Unique Place

Residential Treatment Services - The residential treatment facility can accommodate up to 20 women and 12 children. Residential treatment services are generally provided for 90 - 120 days and are 24 hours/day and seven days/week. Women attend recovery classes and groups for 6 hours/day five days a week. Classes include education on relapse prevention, addiction, domestic violence, healthy relationships, nutrition, parenting, and more. Women often gain insight into their own histories and childhoods commonly marked by abuse, neglect and trauma. They become more compassionate about themselves and better able to understand their children. Approximately 65 women and 35 children live in the treatment program facilities each year.An additional eight months of staff-facilitated aftercare is offered to support information learned during residential treatment. Approximately 71% of the clients who complete the residential treatment and aftercare services continue to stay free from drugs, alcohol and domestic violence, and are more likely to keep their children in safe places to prevent any further child abuse.All components of the Women's Recovery Services have been smoke-free since 1999, including clients and staff.Women's Recovery Services has obtained a Tier 1 standing with evidence-based programs in Sonoma County Upstream Investments.

Transitional Care Services - The organization also operates three transitional residential facilities to provide continued case management, recovery support and parenting education to women who complete the residential treatment services. These transitional facilities can each accommodate up to three or four women and their children for up to two years. These services allow the women to return to employment and educational pursuits which were interrupted by their addiction.
