Women’s Specialty Services (WSS), are available at all levels of care, including residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient treatment, and recovery supports. To meet the specific needs of women, programming has evolved to acknowledge women have different pathways to alcohol/drug use, consequences of use, treatment needs, and recovery support needs than do men.
Our mission in this regard is to provide quality, gender-specific treatment to meet the needs of families in our community. We believe a multi-system approach of empowerment, collaboration, and gender-responsiveness is vital to promote recovery and reduce barriers to family reunification and preservation.
