New program for women combines clinical treatment, life-skills training and support to build healthy foundation for recovery
Ashley Addiction Treatment (Ashley), one of the world’s most recognizable and respected names in the substance use disorder treatment industry, announced the opening of its first Women’s Extended Care Program and residence in Churchville, Md. The site will offer the organization’s new 90-day recovery program focusing on long-term, gender-specialized treatment for women with substance use disorders.
“The Women’s Extended Care Program is Ashley’s mission-driven response to address the unique challenges and stigmas that women with substance use disorders face in our society today,” said James Ryan, director of emerging adult services at Ashley. “We’re thrilled to add this program to our extensive list of services and look forward to helping more women regain their sense of independence, develop meaningful connections and increase their chances of successful sobriety with this tailored approach to treatment.”
The 4,716 square-foot residence contains five rooms and has the ability to house up to eight patients at one time. ashleytreatment.org/
In addition, Ashley began seeing patients at its newly relocated outpatient center in Bel Air earlier this month and has established new protocols to minimize any risk associated with COVID-19. The outpatient center’s relocation from the Upper Chesapeake Medical Center to the Klein Family Harford Crisis Center was announced this past fall. Ashley also now offers addiction treatment services virtually for people who are no longer able to attend meetings or continue regular counseling due to coronavirus.
