WRA has four
residential treatment sites within San Mateo County. Skilled, caring counselors
and house managers staff each residence. Clients also participate in individual
counseling and core treatment group activities at the administrative and
counseling center in Burlingame.
Residential
Services
Methadone
Support
Although WRA does not distribute or prescribe methadone, WRA accepts women
who have been prescribed methadone by their physician as a harm-reduction
method to assist in their recovery treatment. WRA will monitor and oversee
the ingestion of the prescribed "take home" dose that is managed
by the client’s doctor or medical clinic.
Dual
Diagnosis
WRA provides specialized short and long term treatment for women who are
dually diagnosed with a mental illness and substance abuse. The Dual
Diagnosis Counselor works with these clients to develop individualized
treatment planning to meet their specific needs. Medication management
is provided in the residential facilities with the cooperation of the
mental health psychiatrist and the referring case manager.
Perinatal
Treatment
Pregnant women and mothers receive specialized services through WRA’s
Perinatal Treatment component. Women participate
in parenting classes, receive education on pregnancy issues, and participate
in the many services designed especially for the new mother. WRA is committed
to helping to break the intergenerational cycle of addiction.
For pregnant women
and mothers who choose to keep their children with them while in treatment,
residential facilities are available at Hillside
House. Children
up to age 10 are served here. In addition, oupatient Perinatal
services are also available.
Clean
and Sober Living for Women
Juniper
House is a clean and sober family environment where the residents share
responsibility in the care of the house. Together the women residents
support and encourage individual growth while learning how to live without
drugs and alcohol. The women develop a community with each other that
promotes healthy living and sobriety. For more information, contact the
Juniper House Coordinator at (650) 348-6603 extension # 208 .
