Women's Recovery Center Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Women's Recovery Center is a women's residential recovery program on East Orme Street in Wichita, Kansas, in Sedgwick County. DCCCA operates the facility, which combines housing with substance use treatment and includes on-site childcare, a detail that changes who can realistically use residential recovery in Wichita.

A Women's Recovery Residence With Childcare

Wichita's Women's Recovery Center is built around a fact that shapes admissions everywhere else in the field: many women delay treatment because there is nowhere for their children to go. On-site childcare removes that barrier and lets a mother enter residential recovery instead of choosing between her children and her own treatment. Individual and group counseling, non-medical detoxification and peer support are delivered on site alongside outpatient follow-up.

DCCCA's Role in Wichita Recovery Housing

DCCCA operates behavioral health and recovery programs across Kansas, and the Women's Recovery Center is one of its residential sites in Sedgwick County. The center shares its campus on East Orme Street with other DCCCA programs, which keeps administration, referrals and clinical staff in one place for residents moving between levels of care.

Wichita Sober Living and Sedgwick County

Wichita is the largest city in Kansas and the seat of Sedgwick County, with a concentration of outpatient providers, courts and public transit that smaller Kansas cities cannot match. A resident finishing the program at the Women's Recovery Center has a full county's worth of follow-up care within a short drive.

Choosing a Recovery Housing Program in Wichita

Kansas sets no statewide certification standard for recovery residences, so the questions worth asking a program like this one are practical: what childcare covers and what it does not, how detoxification is supervised, and how a resident transitions from residential care into outpatient counseling once she is ready to leave the house.
