The Willows at Red Oak Recovery

The Willows at Red Oak Recovery is a women only, ages 18-35 treatment center with a goal to better the lives of young women for the long run.

Some therapies they use include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), and relapse prevention education.

The Willows helps young women learn how to establish better nutritional and physical health, identify and deal with stress in a positive way, increase their self-esteem, develop a greater sense of purpose and self, and reconnect with their families. They achieve this through their blend of evidence-based practices with holistic practices. Another benefit of going to a center like The Willows at Red Oak Recovery is the easy access to nature. They include activities such as yoga, canoeing, horseback riding, and fly fishing into their program.
