New Beginnings
New Beginnings women’s residential program offers a chance for female patients to focus on their respective issues in private, intimate settings. We offer female-identifying patients a separate treatment facility to enhance their sense of safety and privacy. Our programming is individualized and gender-informed to allow our patients the opportunity to focus on their unique needs.
For women 18-years-old and older, New Beginnings is a place where women can come to realize their full potential. Staffed by professionals with the ability to treat both mental and substance abuse needs, we customize treatment plans to help foster healthy living and coping skills for every person, ensuring each leaves with the skills to thrive in a new life of recovery.
From admission to discharge, we are there every step of the way, using a full-spectrum of evidence-based treatment methods, designed to fit the unique needs and goals of every woman who comes our way.
