Hermanas del Río is a residential treatment program designed to support women navigating both substance use and mental health challenges. As a co-occurring enhanced (3.1) program, we recognize that treating these conditions together leads to stronger, more sustainable recovery outcomes.

 

Each resident receives a comprehensive assessment and, when appropriate, is connected with psychiatric services for additional support. Our program combines traditional and holistic approaches to help individuals build the skills needed to manage their unique needs and challenges.
