Overview
Located in Fort Myers, Florida, Southwest Florida Women's Rehab is a nonprofit, faith-based residential addiction treatment program created specifically for adult women seeking recovery from substance use disorders. The program is part of the Adult & Teen Challenge network and offers a structured, Christian-centered environment focused on long-term recovery, spiritual growth, personal responsibility, and life transformation. Unlike many short-term treatment models, this program is designed as a longer residential stay—typically around 12 months—to help women build lasting stability and meaningful change. This women-only rehab serves adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns. It does not list eating disorder, gambling addiction, or sex/porn addiction treatment, and it does not provide detox or sober living on-site. The primary level of care is residential treatment, with online/telehealth therapy mentioned separately for those unable to attend in person. Residents participate in a supportive community with counseling, psychoeducation, life skills training, family involvement, healthy food, exercise, and a slower-paced setting intended for reflection and long-term healing. As a low-cost donation-based program, Southwest Florida Women's Rehab may be a strong option for women looking for affordable long-term drug rehab in Fort Myers with a faith-based focus.
