Straight and Narrow Womens Treatment Paterson

Since 1954, this Paterson facility has provided residential treatment for women, addressing substance use and co-occurring disorders. The program operates in three residential locations—Alpha I, II, and III—where women reside in a structured, trauma-informed setting. Most stays are 30 days, but the center also provides long-term support.

Treatment is personalized and includes individual and group counseling, parenting classes, and spiritual support. Clients also receive assistance in obtaining medical and financial resources like SNAP and Medicaid. The approach is trauma-informed, acknowledging that many women have histories that influence their treatment needs.
