Our mission is to offer a safe, affordable, and structured space where women can develop essential coping skills, establish healthy routines, pursue meaningful employment or education, and reconnect with their families. Through a nurturing and empowering atmosphere, we help these women overcome challenges and build a foundation for long-term stability and success.

We adhere to SAMHSA's four dimensions of recovery: health, home, purpose, and community. Within two weeks of admission, we assist participants in obtaining medical insurance, psychiatric and dental care, primary healthcare, and outpatient treatment. We connect women with local resources, legal support, and job opportunities. Those on disability are required to work 10-15 hours per week and attend three recovery meetings. We provide initial transportation while encouraging the use of public transit and offer education on addiction, trauma, and recovery.
