When addiction or mental health challenges feel overwhelming, finding the right help can seem impossible. At The Fullbrook Center, we offer a women’s rehab for mental health, drugs, and alcohol, where women can finally focus on healing without judgment or distraction.
Our facility is in Texas, and we’ve welcomed many women from Los Altos, CA, who recognized that sometimes recovery means getting away from home. It’s not about running away. It’s about giving yourself the space and distance you need to heal—free from the people, places, and pressures that kept you stuck.
We provide a safe place to start over, connect with women who understand your journey, and build the life you deserve.
When women tell us they’re considering traveling across multiple states for addiction treatment, they often wonder if it’s really necessary. Our answer: for many women, geographic relocation is what finally makes recovery possible after years of failed local attempts.
Staying close to home and going to a women’s rehab in Los Altos, CA, feels safer, but it rarely produces lasting change. Distance creates possibility.
Life in Los Altos means living in one of the world’s most intense professional environments. The constant emphasis on productivity, innovation, and success leaves little room for admitting vulnerability or prioritizing self-care. When you travel to Texas for treatment, you’re physically removing yourself from a culture that may have contributed to your burnout and substance use.
Maybe you have a spouse who doesn’t understand addiction. Maybe your social calendar revolves around wine tastings and cocktail hours. Maybe your job requires you to attend events where alcohol flows freely. When you’re thousands of miles away, these conflicts simply don’t exist. You get to focus exclusively on yourself without negotiating boundaries that people in your life may not respect.
In Los Altos, deep connections in work and social life lead to fear of being judged or facing career damage. Our Texas location provides crucial anonymity, letting you be fully vulnerable in therapy without concern for your professional or social reputation back home.
At Fullbrook Center, we focus 100% of our clinical expertise on women’s addiction. Our specialized, women’s only inpatient rehab understands how issues like pregnancy, postpartum, hormonal changes, sexual trauma, and eating disorders overlap with substance abuse. This level of focused care is rare in most communities, including Los Altos.
Many women initially worry about the logistics of flying to Texas for treatment. We’ve eliminated that concern by providing airport pickup. Choose either San Antonio International or Austin-Bergstrom International, whichever airport works best with your flight options, and we’ll be waiting when you land.
You won’t need to arrange rideshares, rent cars, or navigate unfamiliar roads. Our staff handles your ground transportation, so your only job is showing up ready to begin healing.
Women seeking help in Los Altos and throughout the Bay Area consistently encounter these roadblocks:
Co-ed treatment centers dominate the California market. While some offer women’s groups or women’s wings, the overall environment is still shaped by mixed-gender dynamics. Women dealing with sexual trauma, domestic violence, or body image issues often can’t fully open up in these settings.
The same economic forces that make Los Altos one of America’s most expensive places to live also inflate treatment costs. Quality programs often charge premium rates, and insurance reimbursement frequently falls short of covering these expenses.
California treatment centers often provide good detox protocols and addiction counseling, but many lack deep trauma work. Most women we treat have histories of abuse or significant loss. Without addressing these underlying wounds, programs are like building a house on a cracked foundation.
Los Altos is embedded in a web of professional and social connections. Seeking treatment at a women’s only inpatient rehab in Los Altos means risking your privacy. Out-of-state treatment eliminates these concerns entirely.
Your decision about where to receive treatment ranks among the most consequential choices you’ll ever make. Some facilities are essentially warehouses where people detox but don’t really heal. Others are transformational environments where women completely rebuild their lives.
Our drug and alcohol rehab for women falls firmly in the second category. We craft unique treatment plans based on each woman’s trauma history, mental health needs, and addiction patterns. Our clinical team holds advanced degrees and specialized certifications. The environment we’ve created feels safe, supportive, and profoundly different from the judgmental world many women are escaping.
Most treatment centers focus on stopping the drinking or drug use, which is important but incomplete. We’re equally focused on understanding why it started. What pain were you trying to escape? What trauma were you trying to numb? What feelings were you afraid to feel?
Our treatment approach blends evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and EMDR with holistic practices like breathwork and music therapy. We emphasize trauma-informed care throughout every aspect of treatment because we understand that sustainable recovery requires healing the wounds that contributed to addiction in the first place.
We’ve structured our programs as a continuum, allowing women to step down through the levels as they gain stability and skills:
We provide 24-hour medical detox services with individualized care for women, customizing protocols based on their substance use and medical history.
Residential treatment means living at our facility for one to three months. You’ll participate in daily therapeutic activities, including individual therapy sessions with your primary therapist, process groups with other women, experiential therapies that engage your body and creativity, and educational sessions on addiction and relapse prevention.
PHP provides intensive daytime treatment while you return to supportive housing each evening. It’s ideal for women transitioning from residential care who still need structured, daily clinical support.
IOP lets you maintain work, school, or family commitments while attending therapy sessions three to five evenings weekly. This level offers accountability and clinical guidance as you apply recovery skills in everyday life.
While we don’t operate sober living homes in Los Altos, we connect you with trusted providers who offer safe, structured housing in California to support your transition home.
If you’re exhausted from trying to control your drinking or drug use on your own, it’s time to try something different. If you’re seeking an alcohol or drug rehab for women accessible from Los Altos, CA, you might discover that our Texas program offers something you can’t find closer to home.
Reach out today and let us show you what comprehensive, compassionate, women-centered treatment really looks like.
