Anchor House Inc, Women’s Facility, is a long-term, residential addiction recovery program exclusively for adult women located in Brooklyn, NY. Licensed by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS), this women-only site provides an immersive residential environment where recovery is integrated with daily life rather than delivered through brief or outpatient care alone.
Residential Care With Structure, Support, and Routine
At the Brooklyn women’s facility, participants live onsite in a 28-bed gender-specific setting designed to help women who have struggled to sustain change on their own. The program typically spans 12 to 18 months, giving residents time to build structure, establish healthier habits, and reconnect with personal, relational and community responsibilities within a supportive live-in community.
Holistic and Trauma-Informed Recovery Programming
Daily life combines structured routines with therapeutic engagement. Women participate in individual and group counseling, relapse-prevention planning, trauma-informed care, life-skills development and coping strategy work tailored to their unique needs. Optional elements may include spiritual support, community service activities, educational workshops and expressive therapies that help address the emotional and behavioral roots of addiction.
Specialized Support Integrated Into Daily Living
The program also offers supports such as vocational preparation, stress and anger management, conflict resolution training and family-involvement activities. Care is grounded in both evidence-informed practices and a holistic, trauma-informed perspective, allowing women to explore underlying challenges while building practical routines and coping skills that matter in everyday life.
Aftercare and Continued Growth Beyond Residence
As residents move toward completion, Anchor House’s women’s facility provides aftercare planning, alumni support and connection to community resources to help sustain recovery outcomes, reinforcing accountability, personal resilience, and life skills that support long-term stability after leaving the program.
This women’s residential program is suited for adult women whose substance use has significantly compromised daily functioning and who need extended, structured residential support grounded in community, routine and comprehensive recovery engagement.
