Women's Inpatient Stabilization and Healing (WISH)

Our treatment approach consists of psychopharmacology and a unique blend of cognitive, behavioral and experiential techniques. These modalities are complemented by our holistic approach to heal emotional distress, enhance spiritual awareness, and develop self esteem. Because of our special focus on women’s needs, our philosophy on addictions follow the 12-Step program, but with a less confrontational, more supportive style.

Many women feel vulnerable going to an unknown environment away from home. They or their loved ones may experience real concerns about their safety and well being. Some may have actually had a difficult experience in another facility. Therefore, our program has been created with an all female milieu.

We believe that a safe environment provides an opportunity for a woman to begin to take charge of her life. Without distractions she can explore what’s really going on within herself and in her personal relationships. Once she has an opportunity to identify the issues that have been disrupting her life, she can begin to develop her personal authority, emotional strength and stop destructive behaviors. While medications may be helpful or necessary, goals and actions during treatment will eventually chart the course of her future.
