Residential Rehabilitation

New Bedford Women’s Therapeutic Community

About

The New Bedford Women’s Residential Rehabilitation Service RRS Program provides 21 beds for women and women with infants with substance use disorders. The Program is located in a three-story building which provides a comfortable, sober, home-like environment. Residents participate in the program from three to twelve months as they work on developing recovery skills and support systems. Residents are also assisted with obtaining employment, entitlements, parenting skills, living and coping skills as well as finding appropriate housing prior to discharge.

These skills, services, and supports empower residents so they successfully transition into the community and experience long-term sobriety and an improved quality of life.
