New Directions For Women

Directions Website

New Directions For Women Women, women with children and pregnant women are welcome at our nationally recognized, certified, oldest gender-specific addiction treatment center in OC.

New Directions for Women is a gender-specific facility exclusively for women suffering from drug and alcohol abuse, chemical dependency, and other addictive disorders. We offer addiction detox and rehab services for women, pregnant women, and women with children. We believe that all women deserve care despite their ability to pay for treatment. Every woman and child who comes through our doors receives some amount of scholarship funds. Our aim is to raise half a million dollars a year, which goes directly to the Pamela Wilder Scholarship Fund to ensure more women and their children are able to receive the quality treatment they need. By providing exceptional, gender-separate and specific addiction treatment services that are grounded in 12-Step principles, New Directions for Women assists women, families and their children to achieve sustained responsible recovery from addiction.

🤍 What advice would you give someone considering coming to treatment?

We asked our Director of Admissions this question because we know that taking that first step toward recovery can feel overwhelming.

Whether you're considering treatment for the first time or thinking about giving recovery another chance, we want you to know that you don't have to have everything figured out before asking for help.

At New Directions for Women, we understand how much courage it takes to make that first call. Our admissions team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you explore what treatment could look like for you.

Recovery is possible, and you don't have to do it alone. 🤍

Today we celebrate the people who show up for the hard stuff. 💪🏼

Addiction work isn’t always pretty. It’s messy, complicated, heartbreaking, beautiful, and incredibly human. And every single day, addiction professionals walk alongside people in some of the hardest moments of their lives and remind them that recovery is possible.

To our NDFW team and every addiction professional doing this work with heart, grit, compassion, and hope — we see you, we appreciate you, and your work MATTERS.

Happy National Addiction Professionals Day. 🤍

✨ A full-circle moment, nearly 50 years in the making. ✨

Today, we had the honor of welcoming Belinda Deines, Executive Vice President-Elect, and Tisia Joseph, Director At-Large of the Junior League of Orange County, to New Directions for Women.

This visit was especially meaningful because the Junior League of Orange County is woven into the very beginning of NDFW’s story.

In 1977, our founders were members of the Junior League of Orange County. It was at a Junior League meeting that Pamela Wilder stood up, boldly identified herself as an alcoholic, and asked for help and support in creating a recovery program specifically for women.

That moment of courage helped spark what would become New Directions for Women.

Nearly 50 years later, we are still here. Still serving women. Still helping families heal. Still carrying forward the vision of the women who believed that women deserved a safe, supportive place to recover with dignity and grace. 🤍

Having the Junior League of Orange County back on our campus today felt like such a beautiful connection between where we started and where we are today.

Thank you, Belinda and Tisia, for spending time with us, learning about the work we continue to do, and celebrating this incredible shared history.

Here’s to honoring our roots while continuing to build what comes next. ✨

✨Yesterday was a pretty special day at New Directions for Women. 🤍

We had the incredible honor of welcoming Dr. Carisa Schweitzer Masek with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Dr. Monty Burks, Director at the HHS Faith Center, and Dr. Timothy Westlake, Chief of Staff for SAMHSA, to our campus.

We spent the afternoon sharing the nearly 50-year legacy of NDFW, our approach to treating women and families impacted by substance abuse, and—most importantly—having meaningful conversations about how we can work together to expand access to quality treatment and recovery support for people across the country.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have leaders at this level walk through our doors, hear about the work happening at NDFW, and dream bigger with us about what is possible. This was a BIG one for our little nonprofit, and we’re excited about where these conversations can lead. 🤍

Nearly 48 years of showing up. 🤍

Some of our leadership team had the privilege of spending time with Carolyn Fisch, a longtime supporter and volunteer whose impact on New Directions for Women spans nearly five decades.

Carolyn was first introduced to New Directions in 1978 when her sponsor encouraged her to come share her experience, strength, and hope with the women in our program. What started as one act of service turned into a lifelong commitment to supporting women in recovery.

Carolyn, thank you for your unwavering dedication, your heart for service, and for believing in our mission for all these years. The lives you’ve touched over the last 48 years are immeasurable, and we’re so grateful your legacy is woven into the story of New Directions. 🦋
