Program Description:
Gaudenzia Washington House is a residential level 2b halfway house for women who have successfully completed a 3c level of care treatment program.

Clients with co-occurring disorders will be individually assessed for admission.


Services:
While the halfway house setting provides some treatment activities including morning meetings, women’s therapy group and peer groups, emphasis is placed on finding a job, or attending a job training or educational program. The program provides a wide array of professional services to its clients within the framework of a therapeutic community setting. A multi-disciplinary team approach is used to design and implement a comprehensive treatment plan for each woman.
