Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.

This center helps women and nonbinary adults in Sonoma County recover from substance use in a safe, caring place. The center offers a 30 to 90 days intensive residential program with 24/7 support and clinically managed detox. Parents can bring young children, and many graduates move on to Hope Village, a nearby sober living program that offers longer-term housing. Treatment at Athena House is trauma-informed and combines proven therapies with holistic care. Clients join individual and group counseling, substance use education, and relapse prevention. They also learn life skills, practice mindfulness, and attend peer-led 12-Step meetings. Staff have lived experience and work closely with other agencies to support family reunification and healing. The campus was fully rebuilt in 2023 and includes a main residence with shared kitchens and living spaces. Peri House is a cozy studio for mothers with children under five. Amenities include a private outdoor space, garden, gym/yoga area, pickleball court, and kids’ play structure, offering comfort, community, and space to grow in recovery.
