Women’s Recovery Journey is an Integrated Outpatient Treatment Program in Brown County for women who are struggling with addiction and/or other mental health issues, and their families. Our goal is to help women recover from their addiction so they can better care for themselves and their families.

At Women’s Recovery Journey, we believe women have unique needs regarding treatment for SUD (Substance Use Disorder) and for their mental health. This program provides the necessary therapeutic, educational, and supportive services to meet those needs.
