Admission

A telephone screening or interview may be all that is necessary. Some clients may need an assessment for services provided by Sacramento County Alcohol and Drug Services Division.

Our program is open to women over the age of 18. We do not discriminate in the delivery of service due to race, religion, ethnicity, sexual preference, disability or ability to pay.

Detox Services

Withdrawal from alcohol or drugs may be accompanied by severe and sometimes dangerous physical symptoms. In such cases, it is important to monitor the withdrawal and provide support services, sometimes medical, until the withdrawal process subsides. Our licensed Detox center can accommodate five women. It is under 24-hour supervision by our specialist staff who are trained in dealing with the detox process and have immediate access to emergency medical assistance when necessary.

Personalized Residential Counseling

Residents receive both group and individual counseling sessions. Residents are encouraged and assisted in planning their own recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction.

Counseling includes in-depth education on the physical, psychological, social and spiritual effects of alcoholism and chemical dependency.

Residents attend outside AA/NA meetings.

A Sober Living Experience

We believe meaningful sober living involves solid day by day living routines. So our residents do their own laundry, keep the facility clean, take turns preparing healthful meals, sharing them and cleaning up afterward.

Virtually all the day to day needs of the residents are met. Nutritious meals, laundry facilities, planned activities and leisure time on Saturday & Sunday.

Our program is designed to create an environment whereby residents can discover intrinsic new life choices.

12 Step Connection

We believe that alcoholism is a disease and that the only recovery possible is through sustained abstinence from alcohol and other mind altering drugs. We also believe that Alcoholics Anonymous is the most effective program for helping alcoholics stay sober.

We believe that the alcoholic woman can change her lifestyle by exposure to the AA program in a safe, calm, protected, drug-free environment, where she can interact with peers and learn through expeiencing sobriety. So we encourage our women to become involved in 12 Step progams both while in residence and afterward.
