This long-term residential and supportive housing program serves homeless women ages 18 and older, many of whom are living with addiction, mental illness, or both. Some participants arrive with children. The program is structured, community-based, and emphasizes accountability. It is not short-term rehab but a comprehensive path to recovery. Residents can access transitional care for up to 24 months or permanent housing with no time limit, depending on their needs and stability.
The center’s approach blends evidence-based treatment and
holistic care. Each woman receives a personalized treatment plan that may include therapy, addiction education, relapse prevention, parenting classes, job training, help finishing high school, and life skills coaching. Clients with co-occurring disorders access counseling, mental health care, and medical assessments. Group recovery work such as step study and relationship healing encourages emotional growth and long-term sobriety in a real-world environment.
Residents live in supervised or independent apartments, depending on program type. In transitional housing, treatment follows a four-phase model with continued support through an alumni program. In permanent housing, residents live independently but stay connected to a team that helps with appointments, transportation, and goal setting. Daily routines may involve cooking, chores, and volunteering or employment. Recreational outings, community service, and sober fun help women rebuild a fulfilling, self-directed life.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like House of TIME provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
