About Us
Recovery Community Resources
We are a Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Sanctuary that promotes the restoration and perpetuation of health and happiness, to Women’s lives in our Community. By transforming Women’s lives that are suffering with psychological and emotional difficulties, we strive to become an Agent of change in the fields of healthcare, addiction and Women’s potential.
Treatment
The Recovery CR program specializes in helping women begin their journey to long-term recovery. Using a co-occurring disorders approach, we evaluate and treat you or your loved one according to the unique addiction history, behavioral health issue(s), and past experiences you bring to Recovery CR. This facility is a highly-disciplined, supervised treatment environment that uses research-based therapy and a qualified, supportive staff.
Women-Only Environment
It’s difficult for many people to admit they have an addiction, and even harder for some to “open up” and share their feelings. Addiction treatment in an all-female group has its advantages. In a single-sex environment there is less pressure, and the ability to access honest peer support among other women that helps keep their focus on the recovery process.
We provide compassionate, research-based care for women struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health issues. Our accredited programs offer comprehensive care in a structured setting.

Our experienced, compassionate addiction Team includes professionals who are appropriately licensed and certified in their respective areas. Our staff includes:

OUR PHILOSOPHY
It takes courage to get help for Substance Use Disorder. It’s complex and not easy to overcome – especially alone. Recovery CR provides complete, holistic care for every stage of an individuals’ unique journey.
Freedom from addiction can move your life forward in powerful ways. Better health, stronger relationships and living with purpose are the rewards of recovery from a Substance Use Disorder. Our goal at Recovery CR is to help people reclaim their lives.
We also know that individuals, and the people that care about them, often misunderstand chemical dependency and what is needed to recover.
Our holistic approach addresses more than chemical dependency and mental illness. We focus on compounding life factors, such as poverty, physical and sexual abuse, unemployment, homelessness, and poor physical health.
We also work closely with the local Community Specialty Organizations to provide for the Clients with other mental and prescription needs for past trauma, severe anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and family relationships.
Our treatment philosophy is based on the recognition that addiction is a disease and recovery is a new way of living. We take a holistic approach to your recovery, providing care for mind, body and spirit.
Instead of only treating the symptoms of addiction, our programs identify and address the core patterns and issues which contributed to self-destructive behaviors. With appropriate care, education and support, each person can recover, regardless of the devastating consequences of their dependency.
