Program Highlights

Many women find it hard to make time to take care of themselves. But substance use disorder can’t wait. If it’s time to take of you, turn to the Women’s Program at Caron for transformative, compassionate care designed for you.

Your treatment is clinically driven based on your needs and progress, incorporating detox, assessment, and other services and programs that meet your needs and life situation. An expert, empathetic clinical and medical staff works as a team to maximize your care so that you have a stable foundation for recovery.

Our comprehensive neurocognitive approach integrates advanced technologies targeting the brain alongside traditional, evidence-based therapy modalities, capitalizing on neuroplasticity to rewire the brain, optimize function, and aid and advance the body’s natural ability to heal itself—creating a foundation for self-regulation and resilience.

In the privacy of a women-only unit, you can process the issues associated with substance use disorder, such as stress, trauma, and depression, and learn the skills that can help you build a healthy, resilient recovery.
