About
The Pegasus House is a nonprofit residential treatment facility dedicated to assisting women between the ages of 18 and 25 who are on the path to recovery from substance use disorders, including issues related to alcohol and opioids. This program specifically targets the complexities of co-occurring mental health and trauma challenges through a well-structured approach that is responsive to individual needs. Clients engage in their recovery journey while honing essential life and employment skills within a nurturing, youth-centric environment.
At The Pegasus House, therapeutic methods such as motivational interviewing and trauma-informed care are utilized to align with each client’s recovery stage. Daily activities encompass group and one-on-one counseling sessions, strategies for preventing relapse, anger management techniques, and programs for quitting tobacco. Participants may also receive medication-assisted treatment options, such as suboxone, methadone, or vivitrol, in addition to educational resources and continuous recovery planning.
Residents benefit from living in a secure, organized setting that includes shared accommodations, communal dining experiences, and designated indoor areas for group and artistic activities. The outdoor facilities feature spaces for volleyball and basketball, promoting both social interaction and physical activity as part of the recovery process. Aftercare plans are initiated upon admission, aiding residents in their transition toward independence and self-sufficiency after they leave the facility.
