Women's Program
Horizon believes so strongly in the need for women-specific programming that we added a 3,100-square-foot wing to Horizon Village, our intensive residential facility in Sanborn. The new wing includes rooms designed to hold women-specific activities and classes, and a lounge and family visitation area. Horizon Village has enhanced its current program to include women-only individual and group counseling, education and support services.
Part of the reason for the addition of the wing is that it better meets the needs of the women residents at Horizon Village, based on a poll that was conducted.
Roughly one-third of the residents at Horizon Village are women. Research indicates women will open up more and be more productive in recovery when they are around other women rather than mixed in with the men.
The staff at Horizon Village is now able to explore more women-oriented issues that affect addiction, such as self-esteem issues, societal expectations, health issues, parenting and mentoring and how addiction impacts the children.
