About Arizona Womens Recovery Center

Arizona Women’s Recovery Centers (AWRC) delivers full-spectrum, women-focused, evidence-based support to help women, including pregnant women and mothers with children, who are dealing with substance use and mental health conditions occurring at the same time. The center provides a whole-person approach to recovery through outpatient services designed for women and their children, allowing families to stay together in structured, sober housing.

AWRC offers a range of programs, including safe, therapeutic community settings and peer-led initiatives. Women may receive supportive housing with treatment plans that fit different circumstances, such as pregnant women, mothers with children, women involved in the court system, and single women who are not currently parenting.

Residents live in apartment-style units, with each woman or family assigned a fully furnished space. Trained staff are present around the clock and include certified counselors, career specialists, a nurse practitioner, a GED tutor, peer support professionals, and case managers. While in treatment, women can participate in individual and group therapy, family counseling, job readiness and job training, educational support, help with transportation, access to clothing, and both psychiatric and medical services.

AWRC also provides career and vocational training and operates an on-site thrift store, Sustain, which supports work readiness and job experience. Women can work at Sustain to strengthen skills and build a resume. The center focuses on women facing lasting obstacles to employment, including mental illness, trauma, and domestic violence, with the aim of helping them secure and sustain jobs, grow their careers, and develop long-term economic stability.

Along with a consistent, supportive living environment, participants at AWRC receive trauma-informed care through outpatient programming. The program is organized into three phases. In level 1, women attend three group sessions each week, with an emphasis on addiction education, grief, parenting, 12-Step recovery, and relapse prevention. In phase 2, there are two group sessions weekly, concentrating on boundaries and healthy relationships, behavior change, coping strategies, and forming recovery-based beliefs and values. In phase 3, meetings occur once per week and continue to build life and recovery skills. Throughout the program, women have access to one-on-one, group, and family therapy, parenting coaching, dual-diagnosis and psychiatric support, career counseling, and additional services as needed.
