ABOUT PROSPERITY WELLNESS CENTER
Operating for over 20 years and located in Tacoma, Wash., Prosperity Wellness Center (PWC) is a state-funded recovery center that offers residential care for adult women facing substance abuse, gambling, and co-occurring mental health disorders. Please note that we do not offer medical detox on site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
When clients are admitted to PWC, they participate in an initial assessment to identify individual concerns and create an individualized treatment program. Our goal at PWC is to interrupt the addiction cycle and promote balanced living. Our program is based on empowerment, goal setting, problem-solving, and education.
Our programming primarily consists of group and individual counseling sessions that address various concerns contributing to maladaptive behavior. Our counseling sessions cover topics common among women struggling with addiction such as grief, trauma, co-occurring mental health concerns, panic and anxiety, stress reduction techniques, self-esteem building, communication, and relapse prevention.
We also incorporate the 12-step model of recovery into our program. During treatment, clients attend on- and off-site 12-step meetings, read fellowship literature, and work on associated steps through counseling sessions and educational workshops.
PWC also offers educational programs for loved ones to involve family members in the recovery process. We also aim to promote healthy living through mindfulness exercises and relaxation techniques. Before clients are discharged from our facility, each client receives a personalized plan for continuing care.
