About SHAWL Women's House

SHAWL (Support for Harbor Area Women’s Lives) is a non-profit residential rehabilitation center in San Pedro, California. The organization provides a structured four-month program for adult women who are rebuilding their lives after addiction to drugs and alcohol. Through its support, SHAWL assists women in addressing substance use, mental health difficulties, and the effects of domestic violence, while encouraging independence and long-term stability.

Participants receive a combination of individual counseling and group therapy, along with relapse prevention and life skills training. In addition, the program uses complementary approaches such as art-based activities, meditation, anger management, and parenting support to strengthen confidence, improve coping skills, and prepare for sustainable recovery.

The SHAWL program also features specialized opportunities, including job readiness training, HIV and health education, financial literacy, and “Strides in Recovery” exercise groups. The center further provides referrals, court advocacy, and year-round workshops to help women restore their routines, build resilience, and maintain progress even after completing the program.
