Alcove offers trauma-informed recovery support for women through residential treatment, family-centered care, transitional programming, and online services.
All Alcove programs are grounded in a trauma-informed, client-centered approach, incorporating the work of Stephanie Covington across our continuum of care. We recognize that recovery is not one-size-fits-all, and provide exposure to multiple pathways, including 12 Step, SMART Recovery, and Dharma Recovery, alongside Indigenous cultural healing through the Wellbriety program.
Across programs, participants build practical skills in areas such as emotional regulation, stress management, communication, and self-awareness. Our approach integrates individual and group counseling, peer support, breathwork, meditation, and experiential practices such as art-based processing. This holistic model supports women in strengthening resilience, rebuilding relationships, and establishing a sustainable foundation for long-term recovery.
A 12-week residential treatment program for women seeking structured recovery support in a safe, trauma-informed setting.
A residential recovery program for women who are pregnant or parenting young children, designed to support healing while preserving the mother-child bond.
A transitional component for residents who have completed the 12-week program. Designed to strengthen life skills, build confidence, and support sustained recovery as residents reintegrate into daily life.
An independent living program for women seeking longer-term recovery support, with greater autonomy and continued access to on-site guidance, accountability, and connection.
Online recovery program that offers flexible support for women who are preparing for treatment, waiting for admission, or continuing recovery afterward.
The Individual Residential Program is a 12-week, trauma-informed program for women seeking structured support for addiction recovery in a safe, supportive environment.
The focus is on stabilization, coping strategies, and building skills for long-term recovery.
Women seeking a safe, structured residential environment while working toward recovery from alcohol or substance use.
Ideal for those looking to stabilize their lives, build coping skills, and create a foundation for long-term wellness.
The Individual Residential Program offers a structured daily routine that includes individual and group counselling, skill-building workshops, and mindfulness and meditation. Cultural and art-based healing, evening recovery meetings, and peer support are integrated throughout, alongside personalized care designed to meet each woman where she is in her recovery journey.
Early recovery is one of the most vulnerable and critical times in a woman’s journey. A trauma-informed, residential setting provides the stability, safety, and professional support needed to move through that uncertainty with care. By focusing on stabilization, coping strategies, and practical skills, the Individual Residential Program gives women the foundation they need — not just to stop using, but to begin rebuilding their lives with confidence and purpose.
The Residential Family Program is a 12-week, trauma-informed treatment program for women who are pregnant or parenting young children. It supports recovery while strengthening family connection and the mother-child bond. The program provides parenting classes, individualized counseling, and group support to help mothers strengthen parenting skills, enhance family relationships, and build a foundation for long-term recovery and wellness.
This program is for women who are seeking addiction recovery support and would benefit from treatment that allows children to remain part of the healing journey where appropriate.
Participants can expect a structured, supportive environment focused on recovery, personal growth, and family connection. Programming includes trauma-informed core curricula, individual and group counseling, parenting classes, and activities like breathwork, meditation, and art-based processing to strengthen emotional skills and mother-child bonds.
For many women, separation from their children can be a major barrier to entering treatment. Alcove’s family program helps reduce this barrier by allowing mothers to stay with their children in a safe, supportive environment while engaging in recovery. The program supports healthier outcomes for both mothers and children through parenting education, mother-child bonding activities, trauma-informed care, and holistic recovery programming that addresses emotional, social, and life skills.
Alcove’s Recovery Community Program is a transitional, supportive living program for women who have completed the 12-week residential program and are moving toward greater independence.
The program offers short term, recovery-oriented housing in a supportive community environment where women can continue building the routines, confidence, and practical life skills needed for long term recovery and independent living. Participation is voluntary and grounded in accountability, shared commitment, and ongoing engagement in recovery.
Women who have completed Alcove’s core residential treatment program and are ready for the next phase of recovery in a structured, supportive environment.
Recovery is built on more than sobriety — it takes routine, community, and real-life skills. A structured environment with shared responsibilities, ongoing recovery support, and practical life skills programming helps women rebuild confidence, stay accountable, and develop the tools they need for lasting, independent living.
Completing a residential program is a major milestone — but the transition to independent living can be one of the hardest steps. The Recovery Community Program bridges that gap by providing continued structure, peer connection, and practical life skills in a supportive home environment. Having a safe place to grow, practice accountability, and stay engaged in recovery gives women the confidence and tools to move forward on their own terms.
Alcove’s Sober Living Housing provides stable, supportive housing for women who are continuing their recovery journey while living more independently. It is intended for women who are working, attending school, and building stability in a sober living environment.

This housing option is for women who are ready for a more independent living arrangement and would benefit from a safe, sober, and respectful home environment while working or going to school.
Residents may be assigned either a private bedroom within a shared two-bedroom suite or a full two-bedroom suite, depending on availability and individual needs. The residence is designed to support sober, independent living in a shared community setting where privacy, respect, cleanliness, and safety are expected.
Having stable, sober housing is one of the most important factors in long-term recovery. For women who are ready to live more independently but still need a safe and supportive environment, Juniper House provides that foundation — a place where they can focus on building their future without the pressures and risks of unsupported living.
Alcove’s Online Recovery Program provides flexible support at key stages of recovery. It complements residential treatment and is ideal for women exploring options, waiting for admission, transitioning home, or strengthening recovery skills.
The 4-week program runs Monday to Thursday and includes 20 structured virtual sessions led by experienced Recovery Coaches. Sessions focus on emotional well-being, skill-building, self-awareness, and connection to support long-term recovery.
Alcove’s online program is designed for women who are exploring treatment options, waiting for residential admission, transitioning home after completing residential treatment, or looking to strengthen their recovery skills. It offers flexible, trauma-informed support that helps women stay connected to recovery, build confidence, develop coping strategies, and strengthen the tools needed for long term healing, no matter where they are in their journey.
Participants can expect flexible, accessible support that keeps them connected to their recovery goals, helps them build practical coping tools, and provides guidance to continue progressing in their recovery no matter where they are in the process.
Recovery support shouldn’t have to wait. For women who are not yet in residential treatment, transitioning home, or simply unable to access in-person services, the Online Treatment Program offers a meaningful and flexible path forward. Staying connected to recovery, building coping skills, and finding community — even virtually — can make a critical difference in a woman’s journey toward lasting healing.
