About Harbor Behavioral Health
The rehabilitation center offers residential care for women who are recovering from substance use, including those who are pregnant or have young children in their care. The program is set in a calm, well-organized environment that supports healing and recovery from addiction, while also helping clients work through common related challenges such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. The approach combines the 12-step recovery model with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness practices, and additional evidence-based methods that are customized to each client’s individual needs.
Residents stay in a secure, gated facility with staff available around the clock. Days are typically structured around individual and group counseling, recovery meetings, and scheduled time for employment or school. For mothers, the center allows them to live with their children in a protected setting, with childcare support, parenting education, and assistance meeting essential needs such as housing and transportation. Overall, the program is designed to help women restore stability, develop practical coping tools, and build confidence to care for themselves and their families.
Daily life is organized to provide both consistency and encouragement for long-term recovery. Counseling is complemented by life skills training, self-help groups, and opportunities for personal reflection. Living spaces are comfortable and well kept, with options for shared or private rooms. Clients can unwind in common areas or spend time in nearby parks. Beyond addiction treatment alone, the program supports lasting wellness through a setting that feels safe, focused, and nurturing.
