Women who immerse themselves into the Windhaven way of life, develop deep relationships with other women in recovery. This balance of support is something many have never had due to belief systems that dictated relationships with significant others which were unhealthy, with an avoidance of healthy intimacy with other women. This can be a lonely and scary place for women in the throes of addiction, and through a healthy relationship with herself and the women around her, our residents learn how to have boundaries, and these boundaries will influence the choices they make in every area of their lives – true empowerment. Windhaven House program elements are designed with this goal at the forefront, and these elements evolve as we do.
