Overcoming addiction is like healing from a wound – you need the right treatment that fits just you. 

For women, this care can be even more specific, like the kind-hearted help offered by these five organizations, each dedicated to supporting women on their journey to recovery through personalized and compassionate approaches.
 

1. Unshattered: Bag-Making and Building New Lives

Kelley Lyndgaard saw that women coming out of rehab needed hope and a steady job to keep their recovery on track. That's why Unshattered was born. At Unshattered, women find a workplace that understands their past and helps them create better futures. 

Together, they stitch beautiful bags out of recycled materials while stitching their lives back together. Unshattered promises more than just employment; it offers a chance for women to regain their self-worth and independence. 

The proof is in their progress – the program sees very few women returning to drug use.
 

2. Brigid’s Path: Caring for Moms and Newborns Together

In the U.S., many babies enter the world already touched by substances, often leading them to be taken from their mothers. Brigid's Path, conceived by Jill Kingston, aims to rewrite this narrative. 

This special place offers mothers and their drug-affected newborns a chance to stay united, providing round-the-clock care and equipping mothers with skills to care for their infants. 

With a helping hand in finding housing and community support, Brigid's Path ensures that most of these little ones leave with their mothers, ready for a brighter beginning at home instead of in foster care.
 

3. The Phoenix: A Sisterhood Strengthened Through Fitness

Scott Strode's The Phoenix, although for all genders, has a significant impact on women recovering from addiction. By promoting fitness and fostering a sense of belonging, this organization helps women refocus their identity from 'addict' to 'athlete.' 

In the encouraging company of those who've faced similar challenges, women find strength and resilience. The results are tangible – women engaging with The Phoenix are finding lasting sobriety and halving their chances of relapse.
 

4. Face It TOGETHER: Advocating for Family-Supported Recovery

Kristen Goettsch's personal struggle as a mother of a child with an addiction led to her involvement with Face It TOGETHER. This organization understands that addiction doesn't just affect the individual; it ripples through the family. 

By embracing mothers, partners, and sisters in the recovery process, Face It TOGETHER nurtures a healing environment where everyone learns how to offer meaningful support. 

It's about transforming the family’s joint battle with addiction into a unifying journey toward healing.
