New Directions for Women

About New Directions for Women – Costa Mesa, California

Situated in Costa Mesa, California, New Directions For Women provides gender specific treatment services for women who are struggling with substance abuse and mental health disorders. What distinguishes New Directions Women’s Center is its philosophy of establishing an empathetic and therapeutic atmosphere exclusively meant for women. They approach everything with professionalism and compassion, making sure each woman gets care not only for her body but for her mind and spirit as well.

Women struggling with conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD or bipolar disorder can receive mental health treatment at New Directions for Women. These troubles are solved using a vast range of traditional and modern therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and individual counseling. This assists clients in attacking the source of their mental health issues directly. The clinic focuses on the mental and emotional health of every patient, allowing women to build healthy coping strategies along with an improved sense of overall emotional well being.

They also provide treatment for women through their substance abuse programs. Whether women are addicted to alcohol, prescription medications or illicit drugs, New Directions for Women offers many services to help support their recovery. The residential treatment program provides a structured environment in which women can completely dedicate themselves to their recovery. The program includes detoxification services, individual therapy, group counseling and holistic treatments such as yoga, mindfulness and art therapy. They even provide intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP) tailored to women who could benefit from some ongoing support but would prefer a comfortable home setting.

One unique feature is their family program. This brings family members into the recovery process. Not only does this help women reconnect with loved ones, but it also gives families the tools to support their loved ones in their continued recovery.

New Directions also offers programs for pregnant women and mothers. They know that they need to provide more specialized support for women in these situations because these are individuals who need to care for their families while also getting treatment. This service ensures that women can concentrate on healing, knowing their children are also taken care of.
