Great Lakes Women’s Rehab

Great Lakes Women’s Rehab, also known as the Robby Dawson Home for Women, is a nonprofit residential recovery center for adult women. Located in Milwaukee’s historic Concordia Neighborhood, it offers a long-term program that blends Christian principles with daily counseling, education, and job training. As part of the respected Adult & Teen Challenge network, the center focuses on holistic care to support lasting personal and spiritual transformation.

Find Support in Christ-Centered Care

The program follows a Christ-centered philosophy, combining spiritual guidance with proven methods. Through four recovery phases—Recovery, Renewal, Restoration, and Transition—residents work to overcome harmful behaviors and build a new foundation for life. Each woman receives personalized care like counseling and mentorship from licensed therapists and spiritual advisors. This supportive, all-female setting promotes transformation based on faith and personal growth, while fostering strong bonds and providing support from experienced staff.

Transform Your Life Through Faith and Focus

Great Lakes Women’s Rehab is a voluntary program – participation is based on personal commitment. Residents live on-site in a shared, distraction-free environment designed to support focus and accountability. To help residents stay focused on their recovery, the center prohibits electronic devices. Each day follows a structured routine that includes Bible study, counseling sessions, physical activity, work responsibilities, and group meetings. The program encourages healthy habits, life skills, and a renewed sense of purpose grounded in spiritual growth.
