<p><strong>ABOUT RECOVERY FOR WOMEN - ALPHA OAKS</strong></p> <p>Operated by Associated Recovery Program for Women, Inc., Alpha Oaks is a <strong>gender-specific residential treatment facility</strong> for women struggling with chemical dependency. Located in Carmichael, Calif., Alpha Oaks is the larger of the nonprofit organization’s two treatment properties and is home to the main office, <strong>women’s inpatient program, and 24-hour detox center.</strong> Only 14% of non-hospital residential programs in California offer <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">detox services.</a></p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Treatment at Alpha Oaks is based on the <strong>12-step model of recovery.</strong> Each woman is encouraged to take an active role in her treatment from the start, working with the staff to construct a <strong>personalized recovery plan</strong> that focuses on the core issues obstructing the client from leading a sober, healthy life. According to the facility’s website, programming is “designed to create an environment whereby residents can discover intrinsic new life choices."</p> <p><strong>Individual and group therapy sessions</strong> address the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual impact of addiction. Clients also <strong>regularly attend AA and NA support meetings</strong> off-site, and are encouraged to become involved in the local recovery community to develop a sober support network. In California, Alpha Oaks is among the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">54.5 percent of facilities</a> to provide specialized programming for women.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Alpha Oaks' treatment team is made up of certified alcohol and drug counselors, Levels 1 and 2, who are required to receive on-going training and attend seminars. Staff is on-hand to monitor the facility 24/7.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The <strong>all-female facility has 18 beds for residents</strong>, and another five beds for those in detox. Official photos from the facility’s website indicated a comfortably furnished home with a living room, <strong>shared bedrooms</strong>, and a communal dining room. Women do their own laundry, keep the space clean and organized, and <strong>take turns preparing meals for the entire house</strong>.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Alumni reviews of Alpha Oaks are positive.
