About Women's Recovery Association - Elms House

HealthRIGHT360 operates over 50 programs in 11 California counties, providing comprehensive treatment services for a diverse range of individuals and families struggling with substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and co-occurring disorders. Women’s Recovery Association (WRA) has been a joint member of their programs and services since 2014, offering residential addiction treatment for women only.
Substance misuse treatment at their Elms House location provides comprehensive, evidence-based treatment for adult women ages 18 and older. Women in recovery receive a blend of 1-on-1, group, and family therapies in a safe and supportive environment, integrating clinical services to address the complexity and needs of women in recovery. Educational and discussion groups address topics in the unique way they relate to women, such as trauma and abuse, emotional regulation, relapse prevention, increasing self-esteem and self-efficiency, building relationships and support systems, co-occurring mental health disorders, and overall health and wellness. They offer a holistic approach with proven therapeutic methods, with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) available for individuals with physical dependencies to alcohol or opioids. Some of their services for addiction and co-occurring mental health include relapse prevention, 12-Step facilitation, and trauma-informed care
Their residential homes for women with substance use disorders also address co-occurring mental health and other related addictive behaviors. Compassionate and experienced staff specialize in treating conditions such as eating disorders or nicotine dependence, along with groups that are specifically tailored to address the unique issues faced by young adults, for women ages 18-24.
Women’s Recovery Association and HealthRIGHT360 is a non-profit organization that accepts low-income clients and families with state medicaid insurance. They are a CARF accredited program, specializing in individuals experiencing homelessness, who are on parole, women with children, youth, and young adults since 1967.
