About Victory Programs – Women’s Hope – Boston
The Victory Programs Women’s Hope is a branch of the Victory Programs campus that exclusively serves women and is located in Boston, Massatchusstettts. In addition to alcohol and drug abuse treatment, they also provide support for mental health issues to provide stability for women in crisis. It’s centrally located in the city and offers modern amenities in a relaxed atmosphere.
Women’s Hope is part of a specialized suite of short-term treatments that provide women the guidance they need to take control of their lives. Their philosophy of “housing first” helps stabilize clients before treatment by assisting them in finding a safe living space.
The Heart of Women’s Hope is an IOP program focused on intensive therapy (group and individual) to uncover underlying triggers of addictive behavior and teach healthy coping mechanisms to replace substance abuse. Clients attend the facility a few hours a day throughout the week, with the schedule determined by their needs. Such a rigid structure helps keep clients focused on recovery and instills a sense of personal responsibility.
Medical case management sees staff and patient advocates collaborate with clients to develop a comprehensive care plan to follow during and after treatment. It often includes connecting with local services from other providers, such as specialists in behavioral therapy. Clients are encouraged to actively participate by voicing their interests and concerns to help guide plan development.
Women who experience mild to severe symptoms from mental health disorders may get referred to the Women’s Hope program to receive co-occurring disorder treatment. New or pre-existing mental health conditions often exacerbate addictive behaviors, so this program provides a broader range of therapies and treatments to help address these problems. In addition, co-occurring disorder treatment has been shown to reduce the risk of relapse.
