Gaudenzia Claymont Center for Women and Women with Children is the current Gaudenzia residential addiction treatment program in Claymont, Delaware. The older Road to Recovery listing at 3301 Green Street no longer reflects Gaudenzia’s active Claymont program. Delaware’s Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health currently licenses the Claymont Center at 3901 Philadelphia Pike, 2nd Floor, Claymont, DE 19703 for clinically managed residential substance use treatment at ASAM Levels 3.1 and 3.5.
Residential Alcohol Treatment for Women
The Claymont Center provides residential treatment for women with substance use disorders, including women who need help with alcohol addiction. Gaudenzia specifically describes its addiction services as treatment for alcohol and other substance use disorders, and the Claymont program is designed for women, pregnant women, and women who are parenting children. This makes the program a distinctive Delaware option for women who need a structured alcohol rehab setting while also addressing pregnancy, parenting, family stability, or co-occurring mental health needs.
High-intensity residential treatment provides a more structured level of support for women who need significant clinical services and a stable recovery environment. Lower-intensity residential care can serve women who are ready for more independence but still need a supportive setting and regular treatment. Admission level is based on assessment, clinical need, safety, and the individual’s recovery situation.
Counseling and Trauma-Informed Care
Gaudenzia lists individual counseling, group counseling, and family therapy among Claymont services. Treatment can address alcohol or drug use patterns, relapse risks, coping skills, relationships, emotional health, parenting challenges, and the practical changes needed to maintain recovery. The program also provides co-occurring disorder treatment, allowing women with both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition to receive integrated support.
Trauma-informed, culture-informed, and sex-specific care are central elements of the Claymont model. These approaches recognize that trauma, family circumstances, pregnancy, parenting responsibilities, and social conditions may shape a woman’s experience with alcohol addiction or other substance use. Treatment is individualized rather than built around a single standard pathway.
Family-Centered Recovery and Continuing Care
Gaudenzia’s Claymont program places unusual emphasis on keeping families connected during treatment. Women with children can receive care in an environment designed to support both recovery and parenting stability. Gaudenzia also reports supportive housing efforts connected with Claymont to help selected families bridge the transition from treatment to greater independence.
Continuing-care planning may include outpatient treatment, medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, mental health services, recovery support, housing resources, and other community services. Women entering treatment for alcohol addiction should discuss any recent drinking and withdrawal history during assessment so staff can determine whether withdrawal management is needed before residential admission.
Payment and Admissions
Gaudenzia states that the Claymont Center accepts Medicaid plans, certain commercial insurance, and can assist with county funding. Coverage and eligibility vary, so benefits should be confirmed directly. The official Treatment and Referral HelpLine is 833-976-4357. Prospective clients and referring professionals should call to verify bed availability, admission criteria, current program details, payment options, and the appropriate level of residential alcohol or substance use treatment.
