<p><strong>ABOUT SANCTUARY TREATMENT CENTER</strong></p> <p>Located in the community of Encino, Calif., 20 miles north of Los Angeles, Sanctuary Treatment Center is a <strong>luxurious residential program for women</strong> struggling with chemical dependency or co-occurring mental health difficulties. If necessary, Sanctuary Treatment Center offers medical detoxification services on-site. As a <strong>gender-specific</strong> residential facility, it is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA16.pdf" target="_blank">part of the 736 (51.5 percent) of facilities in California to offer specialized treatment for adult women</a>.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Sanctuary Treatment Center’s <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/reclaiming-the-feminine-in-recovery/" target="_blank">gender-specific programming</a> utilizes a combination of <strong>12-step practices, evidence-based approaches, trauma-informed care, and holistic treatments</strong>.</p> <p>Major elements of the facility’s programming include <strong>individual and intimate group counseling sessions,</strong> as well as family therapy and educational groups. Utilizing rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dialectical-behavior-therapy-for-addiction-treatment/" target="_blank">dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)</a>, these counseling sessions help to develop skills for regulating emotion, forming healthy boundaries, improving communication skills, and applying life skills. Clients also participate in creative arts therapy and <strong>experiential and psychodynamic process groups</strong>, such as anger expression, empty chair, and role playing.</p> <p>In addition, clients attend <strong>psychoeducational classes to learn about the disease model of addiction</strong>, relapse prevention techniques, and identifying triggers.
