Women’s detox & residential track,
trauma-informed, safety-forward.
The Women’s Detox track at Pines Recovery Life runs on the same campus and follows the same evidence-based protocols as our full clinical program. What the track adds is women-specific clinical considerations: trauma-informed care as standard, safety planning, mother-child separation support, and a peer context where women can be honest about experiences they may not share in mixed settings.

Why a women-specific track, and what it’s not.
Pines Recovery Life is not a gender-segregated facility. The Women’s Detox track is a specialty program within our residential campus — same physician-led protocols, same clinical team. What the track provides is programming calibrated to what we see clinically in women with substance use disorder.
What we see in women: trauma histories (particularly interpersonal violence and sexual trauma) that frequently underlie substance use; caregiving roles that make seeking treatment feel impossible; mother-child separation as a source of acute distress during inpatient stay; complicated medical considerations including pregnancy, menstrual irregularities, and hormonal effects of substance use.
Every patient in the Women’s Track receives identical medical care to other patients — CIWA-Ar or COWS monitoring, MOUD when indicated, psychiatric care, evidence-based therapy. The track adds women’s process groups, trauma-focused programming, and family work that acknowledges caregiving realities.
Same clinical standards, men-specific framing.
The Women’s Track adds clinical programming specific to women’s experience — trauma work and safety planning as standard — while every medical protocol is identical to every other patient.
Identical evidence-based detox protocols. Physician-led 24/7.
Every patient in the Women’s Track is assessed for trauma history with trauma-informed clinicians. EMDR, CPT, trauma-focused CBT available.
Clinician-led group therapy with a female peer cohort. Experiences specific to women addressed openly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is women-specific detox?
A clinical track built around recovery dynamics often present in women’s substance use disorders: trauma history, postpartum issues, prescription medication patterns, and the demands of caregiving roles. Medical care is identical to our standard detox protocols.
Why choose a women’s detox program?
Many women have substance use disorders rooted in trauma, often experienced in the presence of men. A women-only setting can feel safer and allows more honest conversation in group therapy and trauma work.
What does the women’s detox track include?
24/7 medical supervision, individual therapy with a female clinician where preferred, women-only group therapy, dual-diagnosis psychiatric support, trauma-informed care, and family programming.
How long is women’s detox?
Most stays last 5 to 10 days, depending on the substance and individual physiology. Most women step down into residential inpatient afterward for 28 to 90 days of structured recovery.
Can I bring postpartum medications with me?
Postpartum medications can be coordinated with your existing prescriber. Children cannot accompany patients into treatment, but family programming and visitation are part of the program design.
Does insurance cover women’s detox?
Yes, in most cases. Confidential verification at (855) 981-8935.
