The Healing Place Women’s Campus is a long-term, social model recovery program for women in Louisville, Kentucky. Part of The Healing Place, a nonprofit organization that began in 1989 and has grown into a nationally recognized recovery provider, the women’s campus operates from a separate facility and offers the same no-cost model of care that defines the organization, requiring only a desire to become sober for admission. The campus is open around the clock for women seeking help with drug and alcohol addiction.
Recovery Program and Curriculum
The women’s program follows The Healing Place’s structured continuum of care, beginning with non-medical detoxification to help women stabilize before entering the residential recovery track. Safe Haven is a 14-day orientation period during which residents remain on campus and attend approximately 80 classes and 12-step meetings. From there, women move into the Motivational Track, attending classes at off-campus Healing Centers where they work through the SOBER180 curriculum with peers, developing social skills and learning the core principles of Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous. The Recovery Stage deepens engagement with the 12 Steps through continued SOBER180 coursework, with the first portion focused on personal accountability and the second on interpersonal skills and peer accountability. Peer mentors who have progressed through their own recovery are embedded throughout every stage of the process.
Outpatient and Support Services
The Healing Place also operates outpatient services in Louisville, including an intensive outpatient program with sessions four days per week and support services such as peer support specialists, case management for employment, housing, medical, and legal needs, individual counseling, and sober housing with meals included. The outpatient program accepts Kentucky Medicaid and private pay.
