Momentum Recovery - The Cove

Momentum Recovery - The Cove offers addiction and mental health treatment for young women (age 18–35) in need of extended care and sober living. The Cove’s gender-specific program contains comprehensive clinical and life skills programming, from a holistic perspective. The young adult recovery community in the Wilmington area is incredibly active, offering lots of opportunities for fellowship, support, fun, and personal growth. The Cove encourages residents to form relationships with other people as they walk through the recovery process.

The Cove uses a dual-diagnosis approach to addiction treatment, which means they treat the addiction by addressing the underlying mental health conditions that contributed to the addiction. Therapies employed in the program consist of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), recreational therapy, yoga, and other evidence-based and experiential therapies. Female clinicians work individually with clients to uncover and heal trauma and other co-occurring disorders. Family members are also involved in the treatment process, in order to ensure comprehensive healing for the entire family system.

The Cove specializes in facilitating goal development and attainment in a therapeutic, adventurous setting. Their phased approach leads clients through an outpatient program, allowing them extended care to strengthen the skills learned in residential treatment. The Cove’s sober living component offers the community, support, and stability a young woman needs in early recovery. The final phase occurs when clients move out on their own, but with continued individual therapy sessions and regular drug tests, and further involvement in the Wilmington recovery community. In this phase, clients can continue to implement the tools they’ve learned while relying on the safety net that The Cove’s trusted clinicians and community can provide.
