The Pearl

Described as a healing haven for women in Elgin, Texas, this residential treatment center uses the power of compassion and evidence-based therapies to help women transform from a life of substance addiction into freedom. The Pearl believes that often women with substance use disorders have experienced trauma, so they integrate trauma-specific therapies into their treatment plans. A women-only environment can provide unique benefits that cannot be found in a co-ed environment. When women go to treatment with other women, they have a shared understanding that can create a strong support system. Women often face societal stigmas about their addiction, so having the support of other women who can understand your challenges brings a level of support that is necessary for recovery. Evidence-based therapies are the backbone of the program at The Pearl. The women go to individual therapy and group therapy daily for their long-term program. The clinicians use a family systems approach, trauma therapy, solutions-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and motivational interviewing.
