About Our Brookeville Location

Nestled in a tranquil Maryland neighborhood, our Brookeville women’s rehab program offers a warm and inviting environment designed to promote healing and personal development. This beautiful house, featuring eight beds, outdoor walking trails, and shared communal spaces, aims to create a comforting home-away-from-home experience as you recover from addiction.

We offer the following treatment options at our inpatient rehab for women, including:

Inpatient Residential Treatment

Focusing on continued therapeutic support and peer connection, this less-intensive residential care prepares patients for a smooth transition into the next phase of recovery.

Intensive Inpatient Treatment

This highly structured, immersive women’s rehab program offers round-the-clock support, intensive therapy, and 24/7 care in a residential setting that helps patients remain stable and focused on long-term recovery.

Therapy and Programs We Offer

We offer a comprehensive array of evidence-based therapies and holistic treatment methods, customized to address each individual’s specific needs. Our treatment approaches and specialized programs encompass:

Individual Therapy

Has addiction made you question your worth? Are you struggling with the weight of shame, guilt, or past trauma? Individual therapy sessions with our accredited care team provide a safe space to share your story, identify triggers, and set recovery goals as we explore the root cause of your addiction together. Our therapists use proven, evidence-based treatment methods to help you build effective coping strategies and rediscover your inner strength.

Group Therapy

Addiction can be isolating. You feel alone in the world, like no one understands what you’re going through. At The Freedom Center, our group therapy sessions are designed to surround you with other women who are going through the same thing. Together, you will form close bonds, work through your addiction recovery, share memories, and support each other.

Family Therapy

Addiction impacts everyone, including friends and family. When a woman is struggling with substance abuse, those around her are both directly and indirectly affected. Family therapy helps rebuild fractured relationships, teaches loved ones how to provide support, identifies enabling behaviors, and helps them cope with a loved one going through a difficult time. We’ll also help you work through any feelings of guilt or shame you may be feeling about how addiction has affected your ability to care for your family, and teach you how to cope with them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

For many women, overwhelming stress from everyday responsibilities associated with caregiving, work, running a household, or financial strains can lead to cravings or relapse. CBT is a popular evidence-based method that teaches practical skills to reframe your thoughts, manage cravings, and respond to stress in healthier ways, thus minimizing the potential for relapse. Over time, CBT will help you see that you can face challenges without needing substances to cope.

Learn More

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Another evidence-based treatment, DBT effectively treats addiction in women by teaching stress tolerance, mindfulness, and emotional regulation. These skills empower women to manage intense emotions such as shame, anger, fear, or sadness, often felt by those struggling with addiction. DBT helps women develop healthier coping mechanisms to avoid relapsing and learning how to tackle stress with a practical approach instead of turning to substances to cope.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many women suffering from addiction are also dealing with mental health disorders. Dual diagnosis treatment addresses the relationship between co-occurring disorders and addiction. We focus on healing not just your physical health from the substances, but also your mental health.

Holistic Therapy

Holistic therapy nurtures the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—helping women rediscover their true selves. By integrating mindfulness, meditation, nutrition, and exercise, this approach fosters a deep sense of inner peace and balance. It reminds women that recovery is not just about overcoming struggles but about reconnecting with the essence of who they are.

Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy offers a pathway to self-reconnection through movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. It helps women release stress, find physical and emotional balance, and rediscover the strength within. This practice encourages relaxation and provides a sacred space to reconnect with the body and spirit.

Art therapy

Art therapy invites women to explore their emotions and reconnect with their creativity, a vital part of self-expression often lost in the demands of daily life. Through artistic expression, women in recovery can rediscover their inner voice, enhance self-awareness, and heal emotionally, fostering a renewed sense of identity and purpose.

Music therapy

Music therapy uses the power of sound and rhythm to help women process emotions, reduce stress, and build meaningful connections. Whether through listening, creating, or discussing music, this therapy provides a creative outlet that nurtures the spirit and helps women reconnect with their inner harmony.

Daily Routine at Brookeville

Structure is important in early recovery, but so is comfort. Our Brookeville facility balances therapy with restorative activities that allow you to form a deeply personal connection.  Our women’s rehab program features a carefully planned daily routine. Mornings begin with wellness checks, followed by therapy, either in groups or one-on-one. The day also features community involvement, time for rest, and healthy meals. We encourage patients to enjoy outdoor activities and participate in supportive get-togethers, like fireside chats with their peers, where healing, sisterhood, and stability provide a safe space to share, reflect, and rebuild together.

Are Gender-Specific Rehab Programs Effective?

For many women, mixed-gender rehab can feel intimidating or unsafe, especially for those who have experienced trauma. At The Freedom Center in Brookeville, women can open up without fear of judgment, triggers, or the need to ‘hold back.’ This freedom creates a deeper level of trust, stronger connections, and more effective healing for women in recovery. 

Where most inpatient rehab facilities are mixed-gender, offering women-only and men-only group therapy sessions, our Brookeville rehab for women gives patients an opportunity to relax and be themselves in the companionship of others who are going through similar things. Women who have experienced trauma caused by men will especially benefit from women-only addiction treatment programs, as they can recover in a place that feels safe and is free from any the potential triggers of being around men. 

Rehab for addiction is still heavily stigmatized, but it’s even more so for women. Many studies show that women with substance use disorders are much less likely to get treatment for their addiction than men. [2] Additionally, women are more likely to have obstacles that prevent them from seeking help or completing treatment, such as:

  • Family responsibilities
  • Co-occurring disorders (anxiety, depression, chronic illness)
  • Financial struggles
  • Fear of how rehab will affect the family and friends [3]
  • Lack of support or resources to find help

Are Women-Only Programs More Effective Than Mixed-Gender Programs?

Some studies have shown that women enrolled in female-only addiction treatment programs are more likely to complete their full program than in mixed-gender programs. [4] When paired with female medical professionals, patients are more likely to stay sober, feel that their care team understands their specific needs, and are more empathetic. [5]

At our Brookeville women’s addiction treatment center, we aren’t just here to get you through recovery. We’re here for you for life! Our alumni programs and community resources are a great way to not only stay connected with us, but with the new you. By being among your peers who have been through recovery and participating in activities encouraging healthy habits, you will form lasting relationships and help each other stay sober.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Brookeville Women’s Rehab Program

At our Brookeville women’s rehab, the typical length of stay for drug and alcohol rehabilitation is 21 days. However, this can vary depending on the individual patient’s needs and their personalized treatment plan.

Inpatient treatment means staying overnight at a facility for a set period, offering a highly structured environment and constant medical supervision. Outpatient treatment, such as is offered at our Gaithersburg facility, on the other hand, provides flexibility, allowing patients to get care while still living at home and managing their daily lives.

We understand how crucial family support is in the recovery process, and we welcome loved ones to visit during designated times that align with the patient’s addiction treatment plan. We also strongly encourage participation in our family therapy sessions to foster healing.

Continuing care after inpatient rehab is vital for long-term recovery. We offer several options for individuals to continue their recovery journey. They can participate in outpatient programs at our Gaithersburg facility, move into one of our supportive nearby sober living homes, or join one of our aftercare programs, which are designed to meet their unique recovery needs.

The Freedom Center accepts most major insurance policies, and we offer flexible payment options for those whose insurance doesn’t cover our addiction treatment programs or who are uninsured. We are committed to ensuring everyone has access to recovery, regardless of their financial situation, and we will work with you to ensure you receive the treatment you need.

True to its name, The Freedom Center offers a rehab facility where patients have the freedom to leave, however, for those in our women’s inpatient rehab programs, remaining on-site during their treatment period is required for safety and to mitigate the risk of dangerous relapse. Any decision to leave during treatment is done against medical advice and would require readmission into the program if the patient were to choose to enter back into treatment.

For the privacy of all patients, cell phones are generally prohibited in residential treatment facilities. Laptops are also typically not permitted within these units, though exceptions may be granted in specific, case-by-case situations.

Patients reside in semi-private rooms, shared with one to two other individuals. Private rooms are not available at this time.

At treatment centers like The Freedom Center’s Brookeville location, there are rules to help everyone stay accountable and support their healing journey. These usually mean being present and on time for all your therapy sessions, substance use is prohibited, and violence is not permitted. If you want to know about all the specific rules of treatment, it’s best to talk to your admissions advisor. They can tell you everything you need to know about the treatment center and your individual situation.
