True, lasting recovery is a journey, not a destination.
After initial treatment, returning to daily life can feel overwhelming. For women who need more time and support to solidify their sobriety and build confidence, The Willows provides a personalized Extended Care program in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina.
This program is designed for those who have completed initial treatment but want a stronger foundation before returning to full independence. Our experienced team is here to provide personalized, dual-diagnosis treatment to help you achieve long-term recovery.
If you or a loved one has struggled with relapse or needs a more gradual transition, our extended care program provides the structured support necessary to turn recovery into a way of life.
What is the Extended Care Program for Women?
Extended Care is not just more treatment; it’s the bridge between the intensive, structured environment of rehab and a healthy, independent future. It’s a place to practice sober living skills in a supportive, real-world setting. At our campus in Asheville, NC, women live in a community of peers who share the same goal: building a life free from substance use.
Our clinician-led program focuses on the specific challenges men face in early recovery. We help you navigate:
- Building a Sober Social Network: Learn how to create and maintain healthy relationships.
- Developing Life Skills: Gain practical skills in financial management, career planning, and daily responsibilities.
- Managing Triggers: Develop advanced coping strategies for real-world challenges and stressors.
- Healing from Trauma: Continue the deep, trauma-focused work that is central to The Willows’ philosophy.
Our extended care program emphasizes experiential therapy to help build trust, teamwork, and problem-solving skills that you can carry on with you after treatment.
The Willows Difference: Clinician-Led, Adventure-Driven Recovery
Unlike other programs, The Willows is run by clinicians with years of addiction treatment experience under their belts. This means every decision we make is based on what is best for our clients’ recovery. Our Extended Care program for women is built on the same principles that make our primary treatment unique.
