Imagine starting your recovery journey. The space you live in, the energy in the rooms, and the people sharing your path can shape everything about how supported and safe you feel. For many, finding a place where they’re truly understood, where trust can grow without extra layers of worry, is the first, most crucial step. Choosing a gender-separate housing option isn’t just practical; it’s a meaningful way to honor your needs and set the stage for real healing.



Gender Inclusive Housing

When you're looking at treatment centers, you'll often see two main types of living arrangements: co-ed (sometimes called gender-inclusive) and gender-separate housing. Co-ed housing means men and women live in the same facility, though usually in separate rooms or wings, while gender-separate housing provides completely separate living spaces for residents based on their sex or gender identity. The choice is deeply personal and depends entirely on what feels right for you.

For many, especially women, a gender-separate space creates a sense of safety that’s vital for healing. It can minimize distractions and social pressures, allowing you to focus entirely on your recovery. This is particularly important for those who have experienced trauma, as a single-gender community can foster trust and open sharing.^[2] Indiana is actively working to provide trauma-informed supportive housing to create these necessary safe spaces for recovery.^[3] Ultimately, the goal is to find an environment where you feel secure enough to be vulnerable and build a strong support system with your peers. Our dedicated women's recovery programs are designed with this in mind.



Participation Criteria

Finding the right program starts with asking the right questions. Since "gender-separate" can mean different things at different facilities, it’s important to understand the details before making a selection. All licensed treatment providers in Indiana must meet specific state requirements, ensuring a baseline of quality and safety in their housing and clinical services.^[4][5]

As you explore your options, here are a few key criteria to consider:

• Level of Separation: Does the facility offer separate houses or cottages, or are there just separate wings or floors within the same building? Are common areas like dining halls and recreational spaces shared?
• Staff and Therapists: Ask about the gender of the clinical staff, therapists, and residential advisors who will be part of your daily life. For some, having same-gender staff can enhance feelings of comfort and safety.
• Therapy Group Structure: Are group therapy sessions co-ed or gender-separate? Understanding how this core part of treatment is handled can help you decide if a program is the right fit.
• Admissions and Application: Each program has its own admissions and application process. Be sure to ask about their specific policies regarding gender identity and housing assignments to ensure they can meet your needs.

Information can change, so we always recommend confirming these details directly with any facility you're considering. Our directory filters are a great starting point to help you narrow down your selection and find programs offering the housing you need.

Roommate and Suitemate Searching and Matching

Once you’re in a program, you won’t be left on your own to find roommates. The assignment process is thoughtfully managed by staff. They focus on matching residents who are in similar stages of life and recovery, considering factors like age, personal background, and treatment goals. The aim is to create a stable and encouraging home environment where suitemates can support one another, reduce potential conflicts, and build a small, positive community within the larger program.

Find Support

Choosing the right environment is a powerful act of self-care and a critical first step on your recovery journey. You deserve to feel safe, respected, and understood as you heal. By taking the time to find a space that honors your needs, you are building a strong foundation for lasting change. Remember that structured support, guided by established treatment principles, gives you the best chance at success.^[6] Don't hesitate to ask questions and advocate for the kind of care you need. If you're looking for state-run assistance, the Indiana DMHA Treatment Finder is another valuable resource.
