Supportive Living for Women in Recovery

Help for Women in Recovery

YWCA’s Steppingstone Supportive Living Program offers hope – and proven results – for women in recovery who are making the transition to independent living. Compassionate staff help women take responsibility for their lives and the difficult work of recovery.

Since no women should have to choose between her child or receiving help for her addiction, YWCA’s program allows women to remain with their children (ages 12 and under) while in recovery.

Each year, the program provides housing and treatment services to nearly 80 women.

In a safe, supportive, and structured environment, women maintain sobriety and achieve a healthy lifestyle free from addiction.

Program Details:

  • Licensed by the NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS)
  • 29 furnished apartments available for women over the age of 18, including women with children ages 12 and under
  • Experienced, trained staff help women overcome the effects of addiction, domestic violence and other trauma
