New Found Life has a women’s rehab in California where people struggling with substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health disorders can receive personalized care with a tailored treatment plan. The treatment center is a women’s only space where we use evidence-based therapies and mental health treatment to address underlying issues contributing to the cycle of addiction or trauma.
Many healthcare providers and treatment programs fail to offer gender specific care. For over three decades, New Found Life has been dedicated to supporting women overcoming addiction to drugs and alcohol, offering a gender-specific residential treatment program customized to the unique challenges faced by women.
Our rehab programs focus on prioritizing relapse prevention and improving overall well-being. We offer behavioral health and addiction recovery services to women in California. Most women participating in our drug and alcohol rehab program benefit from our tailored approach to client care and wide range of treatment options.
Our therapies are designed to address the unique challenges women face with substance use disorders. From the accelerated rate at which women can develop substance use disorders to the higher incidences of trauma, we recognize the distinct challenges of women who need our services. Key features of our women’s rehab include:
Research shows that women benefit from a communal, relationship-based approach to addiction recovery. That is why we have created a women’s treatment center where women can feel safe and secure during treatment. Within this setting, residents express themselves without the tensions that may exist in mixed-gender groups. Mutual peer support in group therapy is an integral part of the recovery journey for many individuals. Gender-specific groups make the space feel more welcoming and supportive.
New Found Life offers a structured women’s residential treatment program designed to help women break free from substance use while rebuilding their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In a safe, women-only environment, clients receive personalized care that combines evidence-based therapy with strong 12-step immersion and community support.
Women who complete residential treatment can transition to lower levels of care to gradually gain independence. Most clients transition from our residential treatment facility to outpatient programs, including:
Through daily structure, clinical guidance, and meaningful peer connections, women begin developing the tools needed for long-term recovery and a healthier future filled with help, hope, and happiness.
Women entering treatment often carry unique emotional, psychological, and social challenges related to substance use. At New Found Life, our women’s residential treatment program provides a structured and supportive environment where women can focus fully on healing from addiction while developing the skills needed for lasting recovery.
Residents live in a comfortable, women-only home near the ocean in Long Beach, where daily structure, shared responsibilities, and meaningful connection create a strong sense of community. Clients participate in therapy, recovery meetings, and practical life skills training while building healthy routines that support long-term sobriety.
Through clinical care, peer support, and 12-step immersion, women begin rediscovering help, hope, and happiness in recovery. Recovery truly is a beautiful thing, and our residential program provides the time, support, and guidance needed to begin that journey.
Women often experience addiction alongside trauma, co-occurring mental health conditions, and relationship stressors that require specialized care. Our gender-specific treatment program creates a safe and supportive space where women can openly explore these challenges without fear of judgment or distraction.
At New Found Life, treatment combines evidence-based therapies with strong 12-step recovery principles to address both the emotional and behavioral aspects of addiction. Individual therapy, women-only group therapy, trauma-informed care, and wellness activities help women strengthen coping skills while rebuilding confidence and self-worth.
By focusing on the unique needs of women, our program helps clients develop the tools, relationships, and spiritual foundation needed to sustain recovery long after treatment ends.
Many women who seek help for alcohol or drug abuse have experienced traumatic events that significantly influence their addiction. Our treatment approach includes Intensive Trauma Therapy to help women heal from traumatic experiences such as sexual assault, domestic violence, emotional abuse, and more. We utilize evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and narrative therapy in which women can safely recount their traumatic experiences, and psychoeducation to help them understand the impact of trauma on their health.
New Found Life does not offer detoxification services in-house; instead, we provide detox facilitation by connecting women with local programs. Our addiction treatment center offers the following levels of care:
A case manager can provide support and guidance to smooth the transition between levels of care and ensure you receive the best possible care.
Many women struggling with substance use also experience underlying mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. When these conditions occur together, they can intensify each other and make recovery more complex.
New Found Life provides integrated dual diagnosis treatment that addresses both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously. Our clinical team works with each client to create a personalized treatment plan that may include evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused care, and psychiatric support when appropriate.
By treating the whole person rather than just the addiction, women gain the insight, emotional stability, and coping strategies necessary to maintain recovery and rebuild a healthier life.
We recognize the prevalence of co-occurring mental health conditions in women with substance use disorders and provide targeted treatment for the following dual diagnoses :
Co-occurring disorders may impact treatment outcomes. We address all dual diagnoses using evidence-based and holistic therapies. Many women with co-occurring conditions begin residential treatment after completing detoxification. Individuals with more severe mental health disorders may benefit from intensive outpatient treatment before transitioning to aftercare. Our inpatient treatment services help women in Orange County prepare for long-term recovery.
Our women’s recovery center includes a range of therapeutic interventions specifically designed for the psychological and emotional needs of women. These help prevent relapse and allow women to get to the root cause of their addiction.
Our rehabilitation center provides high-quality addiction recovery services for women in Southern California experiencing drug or alcohol addiction and dependency.
The foundation of treatment at New Found Life is strong 12-step immersion, combined with clinical excellence. The 12-step approach offers a structured path for personal growth, accountability, and spiritual development that continues long after treatment ends.
Women in our program actively participate in recovery meetings, build peer support networks, and learn how to apply the principles of the Twelve Steps in daily life. Clients practice reaching out for support, building healthy relationships in recovery, and developing the humility and honesty that sustain long-term sobriety.
By the time women leave treatment, they have not only learned the principles of recovery but have also begun living them—building a strong foundation of help, hope, and happiness that continues long after their time at New Found Life.
New Found Life is a family-owned and operated treatment facility that addresses each client’s specific needs through gender-specific, women-only care, 12-Step immersion, and clinical excellence.
Our reputation within the treatment industry gives us the opportunity to partner with local programs and community-based resources that can help women heal from addiction or mental health issues. The facility has the necessary accreditations to meet requirements for insurance plans and the Department of Healthcare Services.
Addiction impacts the entire family, not just the individual struggling with substance use. At New Found Life, family involvement is an important part of the recovery process, helping loved ones understand addiction while learning how to support healing in healthy ways.
Our family program includes educational workshops, therapy sessions, and ongoing support groups designed to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and establish healthy boundaries. Family members can participate in weekly meetings and special family weekends that provide guidance, connection, and encouragement.
Recovery is often strongest when families heal together. Through education, support, and shared understanding, families can rediscover hope and begin rebuilding relationships that support long-term recovery.
We are one of the few treatment providers that offer gender-specific care to mothers struggling with addiction. Our rehab center offers mothers a safe space to heal and build the foundation for a healthier future. The residential programs at New Found Life give mothers essential recovery resources and support.
Family engagement in rehabilitation and aftercare plays a significant role in recovery for many women with SUD. We ensure you know how to set clear boundaries and develop healthy relationships with loved ones. Our Long Beach rehab for women prepares clients and their families for long-term recovery.
Healing from addiction requires more than abstaining from substances—it involves rebuilding emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. At New Found Life, our programs support the whole woman through a combination of clinical treatment, wellness practices, and practical life skills development.
Women participate in therapy, recovery meetings, and holistic wellness activities such as fitness, meditation, and reflection. Daily structure and shared responsibilities help residents build confidence while developing the routines needed for a balanced lifestyle.
Clients also learn practical life skills such as communication, financial responsibility, and relationship building. These experiences help women regain independence, restore self-esteem, and prepare for life beyond treatment.
Recovery is a process of transformation, and with the right support, women can rediscover the joy and fulfillment that addiction once overshadowed.
Individuals with a history of chronic substance abuse may not have a healthy relationship with food. For example, many people who abuse opioids experience malnutrition due to a lack of appetite and gastrointestinal issues. Our residential substance abuse treatment programs address nutritional deficiencies and other health problems by educating clients and ensuring everyone has access to balanced, nourishing meals.
Watching a woman you care about struggle with addiction can be painful and confusing. Many families wait for the “right time” to encourage treatment, but addiction often worsens without professional support.
It may be time to seek help if substance use is affecting a woman’s physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, or ability to function in daily life. Signs such as increasing isolation, mood changes, loss of responsibilities, or repeated attempts to stop using without success can indicate that additional support is needed.
At New Found Life, we understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. Our compassionate team is here to guide families through the process, answer questions, and help women take the first step toward recovery.
Because recovery brings help, hope, and happiness—and truly, it’s a beautiful thing.
We remain committed to each woman’s long-term success. By including additional levels of support and accountability, we ensure each woman experiences a smoother transition back to her home and community. Some of the resources at our rehab for women include:
Our alcohol and drug rehab programs offer tailored treatment plans. Residential care is often the next stage in treatment for individuals who have completed a detox program. You can use the mental health services and addiction recovery resources provided by New Found Life to prepare for outpatient care.
Our gender-specific residential programs provide a space where women empower women to heal and grow together. Recovering from substance abuse is a lifelong practice, and developing healthy social connections can improve treatment outcomes by giving you a strong support network.
We do accept some of the most popular insurance providers for our gender-specific programs. Women seeking treatment can consult with our intake specialists or their insurance provider to determine if their insurance coverage includes residential and outpatient care.
Residential treatment may last one to three months, depending on multiple factors, including the presence of co-occurring conditions, insurance coverage, and personal recovery goals. New Found Life collaborates with women to create individualized plans.
No. We do not offer detox services. However, we can provide referrals and information about local detox rehabilitation centers or programs.

Yes. Women at New Found Life have access to evidence-based and holistic dual diagnosis treatment for addressing co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders.
