About Women on the Way Recovery Center
You’ll find Women on the Way Recovery Center in San Leandro, California. Established in 1995, they provide a safe haven for women battling substance abuse, mental health conditions and criminality. You can access residential care and sober living homes to rebuild your life and gain essential recovery skills.
Gender Specific Care To Fit Your Unique Needs
One thing that stood out to me was their gender specific, family friendly environment. What started as an eight bed facility has grown into 18 beds for women and their families.
You’ll benefit from focusing on recovery around your loved ones as well as the loved ones of others. Together, you can overcome challenges and celebrate wins.
Peer Support For Continued Healing
I also think their emphasis on peer support is fantastic. Women work together to support each other through finding employment, building educational skills, reuniting with their children and more.
They encourage a strong peer support environment with 12-step programming and local church engagement. You can gain courage and strength to remain sober and grow in recovery among peers on similar paths.
Criminal Justice Involved Services
Another great feature I noticed was their criminal justice involved services. They partner with state probation, parole and drug courts in Alameda County. You’ll benefit from another chance at recovery, as well as assistance to improve your overall circumstances and reduce recidivism.
I also like that Women on the Way Recovery Center offers trauma informed care. You can receive ongoing support to address your past and gain the tools needed to create a brighter future. The facility is conveniently located 20 to 30 minutes away from Oakland and San Francisco and less than an hour away from San Jose.
