Avery Lane is a drug and alcohol treatment center whose program is designed and carefully developed exclusively to meet the unique needs of women struggling with addiction. Avery Lane strives to help women find their inner strength in order to overcome the disease of addiction. We have created a "community environment" where staff and patients work together to heal and grow. At Avery Lane, we incorporate this community philosophy into a long-term, primary care substance abuse program with specialized clinical treatment plans to address all components of the disease of addiction independent of substance abuse or dependence. Our approach utilizes a model integrating philosophies, research, and clinical practices from the medical, psychiatric, psychological, human potential, social, familial, and self-help fields.
