Harmony WestHarmony West is a non-residential treatment and recovery center dedicated to helping women through the difficulties of recovery from alcohol and drug addiction.

At Harmony West we understand women have treatment needs that are distinct from the needs of men. Women are more likely to suffer from increased levels of shame and guilt, interpersonal problems, financial difficulty, lack of marketable job skills and social support. Harmony West offers a safe, supportive environment in which our clients can address their treatment needs.
