Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

New Joelyn’s Home helps women and LGBTQ+ people heal from substance use, mental health challenges, and chronic illness like HIV/AIDS. This residential program offers 90-day stays, with extensions up to eight months for those who need more time. Clients facing homelessness also find support here. The program builds hope by giving people a safe place to recover and rebuild their lives. Treatment combines evidence-based counseling and holistic healing. Clients take part in individual and group therapy, case management, and relapse prevention. Activities like art therapy, meditation, and recreation help people heal inside and out. Staff connect clients to important medical services, including pediatric care and support for pregnant and postpartum people, making sure every need is addressed in recovery. Clients live in shared spaces where they enjoy home-cooked meals and a supportive community. Daily routines include group meals, healing activities, and time for reflection. Indoor and outdoor spaces create a peaceful setting for growth. Staff also help arrange medical referrals and community support so people leave stronger, healthier, and ready for independent living.
