Women's Trauma Program

Casa Serena is a welcoming treatment center offering specialized trauma recovery programs for women. At Casa Serena, we believe that in order to recover from the deep trauma which often lies beneath substance use and mental health disorders, you must feel completely safe and comfortable. This is why we offer a recovery space that is absent of a mixed population to better support your journey toward a new life.

Trauma treatment has not always provided for the unique needs of women seeking help finding healing from trauma. For years, the trauma treatment environment offered mixed-gender treatment settings, which are not always conducive to comfort or feelings of safety for all participants. Fortunately, female (sometimes referred to as women-only or gender-specific) treatment has evolved over the last few decades to understand the needs of women better. Today, treatment is holistic, focusing on all aspect’s of a person’s well-being.

What to Expect From a Women's Trauma Recovery Program

It is important to remember that there is no “timeline” for recovery from a traumatic experience. Every woman is different and responds according to their own capabilities. The effectiveness of treatment for trauma and addiction depends significantly on the type of treatment and level of support and guidance received during and after treatment ends. The most successful programs for women utilized a trauma-informed approach as part of a comprehensive addiction treatment program. When you begin your addiction recovery journey at a trauma recovery program, the first step is often detox. This is necessary to wean your body off the substances in a safe and supported environment. Only after you have cleansed your system of the toxic effect of drugs and alcohol can you fully immerse yourself in addiction treatment. Our caring and compassionate team of treatment professionals will work with you to create a unique treatment plan focused on your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
