About Momentum Recovery
Near the Wilmington shore, Momentum Recovery offers young adults a complete reset. Whether someone is struggling with mental health challenges, navigating the weight of addiction, or managing both at once, they’ll find a path forward here. They offer gender-specific residences, making sure everyone has a safe space to do the work.
Heal Both Mind and Habit in a Space Built for Men
At The Creek, they have created a space where young men who might usually resist treatment feel at home. The team understands that for guys, struggling with mental health or relying on substances often looks like aggression, apathy, or impulsive behavior rather than just sadness. The campus is custom-built and modern, designed to be a place where someone can relax and feel comfortable, with plenty of room for connections and pickup basketball games.
Heal within the Safety of a Sisterhood
At The Cove, women enter a supportive sisterhood, offering clients ages 18 to 35 a safe place to heal. It’s a dual-diagnosis space that doesn't just look at addiction on the surface. Instead, it digs deep into the roots of trauma and anxiety to help women find their footing again. The living space is warm and homey with rooms for unwinding with roommates and a backyard garden where everyone pitches in for dinner.
Master Real-World Independence with Sober Living
Momentum's sober living in Wilmington offers a middle ground for young adults to adjust to life after treatment. As they move into "change management," clients spread their wings by living independently off-campus. Continued collaboration with therapists and case managers provides ongoing aftercare support. Momentum sober living is here to help clients navigate life after rehab.
