Transforming lives one day at-a-time in a healthy, safe and trusted environment
Our Program
At New Directions for Women, women can get the help they need to address co-occurring disorders with our specialized dual diagnosis treatment facility.
Individualized Care
Trauma-informed care is a strengths-based, trauma-sensitive approach that recognizes the impact of trauma on an individual’s life. This method responds in a way that is respectful of the individual’s experiences. We recognize that our patients have survived trauma and can heal and thrive.
Embrace Recovery
New Directions for Women provides support and treatment services in a safe and healthy gender-specific environment.
New Directions for Women Foundation was created in 1977. Every woman and child who comes through our doors receives some amount of scholarship funds. Our aim is to raise $500,000 a year, which goes directly to the Pamela Wilder Scholarship Fund. On behalf of the staff, patients, and alumni of New Directions for Women, we are honored to have your support as we continue our 37th year of excellent treatment.

“New Directions saved my life! Their program truly embodies a mind/body/soul approach to healing and recovery. My stay was comfortable, the facilities, group rooms and bedrooms were extremely clean, and it became my safe haven to begin healing.
