About New Directions for Women: Programs, Staff & Mission

New Directions for Women is a safe place for women to reclaim their lives, rebuild their families, and rediscover their strength. They treat women at every stage of life, including pregnant women and mothers with young children through a full spectrum of care that includes detox at any trimester, residential care, and aftercare planning. Women are welcome to bring their children, from newborns to age 12. Here, women are not seen as their struggle, but as resilient individuals with the capacity for deep, lasting change.
Healing begins with the belief that every woman deserves the chance to reclaim her story. That’s why New Directions for Women incorporates narrative therapy into their deeply compassionate, trauma-informed approach—empowering women to explore, understand, and rewrite the painful narratives that addiction and trauma have written into their lives. Rather than being defined by past experiences, women learn to reframe those stories with strength and self-worth at the forefront.
At New Directions for Women, a peaceful and supportive environment plays a vital role in recovery. This California treatment center feels like home. In the heart of Costa Mesa, just minutes from the California coastline, the facility is a beautifully-maintained home with private and shared bedrooms. With housekeeping services and designated parking, every detail is thoughtfully designed to let clients fully focus on their recovery.
The transition from treatment to everyday life can be one of the most vulnerable times in recovery. Their aftercare program is designed to walk alongside each woman after she leaves residential treatment. With continued access to therapy, relapse prevention planning, and a vibrant alumni group, women stay connected and empowered in their recovery.
