About this Recovery House
El Regreso Women's Residential is a women's sober house in Brooklyn, New York, in Kings County, on South 3rd Street in Williamsburg. Acacia Network lists it among the residential substance use treatment programs it operates for adult women with or without children, and the program is licensed by the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports.
A Women's Recovery Residence in North Brooklyn
This is the women's side of El Regreso, whose men's residence sits a block away on the neighboring street. Running the two as separate households at separate addresses is a deliberate choice. It means house rules, groups and shared space are written for one population, and no woman is the only woman in a mixed building. For many people that single fact decides which application gets filled out.
Who Is Accepted at This Brooklyn Recovery Home
Acacia Network's women's residential programs accept pregnant women, mothers with children living with them, mothers working to regain supervision of their children, and women who are not currently parenting. Women who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless are accepted. Stays typically run six to twelve months. A residence that takes a woman with nowhere to go and no custody resolution is removing the two conditions that most often keep women out of treatment entirely.
Bilingual Sober Living Rooted in Williamsburg
El Regreso grew out of the Puerto Rican and Latino community of north Brooklyn, and Acacia Network is one of the largest Hispanic-led nonprofits in New York State. Its addiction services are described as integrated, culturally responsive and trauma-informed, and its Brooklyn outpatient programs run bilingually. Whether a group session, a family meeting and a benefits application can happen in a resident's first language is a practical question, and here the answer is settled.
What This Women's Recovery Housing Program Includes
The published service set across the network's women's residences covers individual and group counseling, mental health services, referrals to primary care and to medication-assisted treatment, educational and vocational services, benefits enrollment and aftercare referrals. Medication policy is the item to raise first on any call, because it eliminates more options faster than anything else a resident can ask about.
Kings County Recovery Housing and the Williamsburg Grid
South 3rd Street sits in the blocks below the Williamsburg Bridge, minutes from the Marcy Avenue station on the J, M and Z lines and from the L at Bedford Avenue. Kings County is the most populous county in New York State, with a correspondingly deep supply of outpatient providers, hospitals, benefits offices and courts, most of them one subway ride from this address. A woman finishing a residential stay here and moving into her own apartment usually stays inside the same transit orbit.
