Women's Residential Treatment Programs
Credo Community Center's women's residential treatment facility provides a structured environment specifically designed for women in recovery from substance abuse. The program addresses substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health conditions, recognizing the complex needs that many women face during their recovery journey.
Residents benefit from person-centered services that adapt to individual circumstances while maintaining the community support essential for long-term recovery. The residential program serves as a foundation for women transitioning from acute care or those requiring intensive support to establish stable sobriety within a gender-specific treatment environment.
Outpatient Programs and Recovery Transitions
The center's outpatient program options allow women to maintain recovery support while rebuilding their lives in the community. These programs serve both as step-down care for residential treatment graduates and as primary treatment for women who can maintain housing while receiving addiction treatment services.
Outpatient participants access the same person-centered approach that characterizes Credo's residential programming, with flexible scheduling that accommodates work, family, and educational commitments essential for sustainable recovery community integration.
Specialized Opioid Treatment and Dual Diagnosis Care

The program combines medication-assisted treatment approaches with comprehensive behavioral health services to address the full spectrum of opioid addiction recovery needs.
The center's dual diagnosis capabilities ensure that women with co-occurring mental health conditions receive integrated treatment rather than fragmented care. This comprehensive approach addresses the underlying factors that often contribute to substance abuse, creating stronger foundations for lasting recovery.
Aftercare Support and Community Integration
Credo's commitment to recovery extends well beyond residential treatment completion through comprehensive aftercare support services. Care management assistance helps women navigate ongoing healthcare needs, while housing support addresses one of the most critical factors in maintaining stable recovery within the community.
