About Gaudenzia Inc
Gaudenzia’s Washington House is located in Philadelphia and offers a low-intensity residential treatment option for women who are dealing with substance use disorders and related co-occurring conditions. The program’s multidisciplinary team relies on evidence-based approaches to provide individualized support that is gender-responsive and centered on each person. This structure is designed to assist women who are currently facing addiction, while also meeting the challenges of recovery. With resources available throughout Pennsylvania, Washington House helps create a consistent care path so patients can receive support from early treatment through every stage of their ongoing recovery.
Washington House is intended to be a secure and supportive environment for women who are seeking help. Residents receive access to group therapy and individual counseling, and treatment plans commonly include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational enhancement therapy (MET). The team also offers guidance and resources for families, referrals to alternative outpatient programs when appropriate, and assistance with housing needs. Care is planned with a trauma-informed and culturally informed focus, helping ensure that services reflect each patient’s background and specific requirements. The residence is situated in downtown Philadelphia, with multiple bus stops within walking distance, making it easier for women to reach the program.
