WRA exists to instill hope for a quality of life that includes becoming a successful, productive & healthy member of society.

WRA specializes in services for women with co-occurring disorders in all programs.

Since its inception in 1970, WRA has been continuously driven by a commitment to helping women struggling with the ravages of substance abuse and the collateral damage that inevitably accompanies the abuse.  This commitment is reflected in the following creed, but is – even more importantly – embedded in the daily operations of the agency.

OUR VISIONGroup Image

Restoring lives one woman at a time.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Women's Recovery Association is to restore women of all ages and circumstances to a life of dignity and respect, free from the effects of substance abuse.

OUR CORE VALUES

  • Women, adolescent girls, and their families have unique needs.

  • Every woman is an individual and needs different tools to achieve her goals.

OUR APPROACH

  • Alcohol and chemical dependency is a treatable disease, which can impact the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of the women we serve.

  • Abstinence is the primary goal of treatment and serves as the foundation for successful long-term recovery.

  • Relapse can be a part of the recovery process.

  • The support and services of the community are an integral part of our programs.

  • We encourage women to treat themselves the way they wish others would treat them.

ABOUT WRA

  • WRA is a community of recovering women, their families, alumnae, staff and volunteers.

  • We treat everyone with compassion, caring, understanding, empathy, dignity, respect, and honesty.

  • We greatly value the confidentiality, safety and privacy of our women and their families.

  • WRA is receptive to using innovative approaches and emerging research to deliver quality treatment and services.

  • We believe it our responsibility to provide effective treatments for our women and are committed to active internal evaluation.
