Addiction Recovery Phase System

What Makes Us Unique

A Look into Our Phase System

Addiction-Recovery-Phase-SystemThe goal at Windhaven House is to assist women in becoming healthy and autonomous. We achieve this goal through our phase system, which is uniquely designed to help residents meet goals for both personal growth and independent living skills within addiction recovery.
