POWER http://power-recovery.com More than 23 million Americans suffer from alcoholism and drug addiction, but only 11% receive treatment.

Women are the fastest-growing segment of substance users in the United States, with an estimated 2.7 million women abusing drugs or alcohol. Most women (66-90%) in treatment report histories of trauma, which may include domestic violence, early childhood sexual assault, physical abuse or neglect, loss of a child, or other traumatic experiences. Our staff is trained to understand the impact of trauma on recovery and our care reflects that understanding.

136 volunteers. Countless moments of impact.

During Fiscal Year 2026, POWER volunteers and board members generously gave their time to support women on their journey to recovery—from staffing our Campus front desk to supporting enrichment activities, special events, and more.

We are so grateful for every person who gave their time and talents to POWER.

Recovery affects more than one person—it touches entire families.

Last fiscal year, 1,621 children had a parent who received addiction treatment and recovery support services at POWER.

When a parent begins their recovery journey, the impact can extend far beyond the individual. Recovery can create greater stability, stronger relationships, and new possibilities for children and families.

At POWER, we are proud to support women as they work toward recovery and build healthier futures for themselves and the people they love.

💜 Recovery Tip Tuesday

In a world that celebrates quick results, recovery teaches us the value of patience.

Healing doesn’t happen overnight. It happens through consistent choices, honest conversations, support from others, and believing that tomorrow can be better than today.

At POWER, we’ve seen firsthand that lasting recovery isn’t about perfection—it’s about perseverance.

Keep going. Your future is worth the effort.

This week, we recognize Mental Illness Awareness Week and the importance of connection, support, and community.

At POWER, we know that mental health and recovery are deeply connected. Healing looks different for everyone, but no one should have to navigate it alone.

By listening, supporting one another, and creating spaces where people feel safe and heard, we can help build stronger communities and brighter futures.

💜 Recovery is possible. Support matters. Community makes a difference.

💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

At POWER, we know that substance use, trauma, and domestic violence can often intersect—and that every woman deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard.

This month, we stand with survivors, always and recognize the courage it takes to seek help, begin healing, and build a life free from violence.

If you or someone you know needs support, help is available. 💜
