About his sheltering arms

His Sheltering Arms is a community-based agency that offers transitional housing for women in the early stages of substance use recovery. They also provide supportive services such as HIV/AIDS care, emergency shelter and welfare-to-work assistance. They’re located on South Avalon Blvd in Los Angeles, California.

They offer a safe and nurturing environment where women are assisted in rebuilding their lives through structured support, accountability and access to essential services.

They support women from all walks of life, from pregnant and postpartum women seeking targeted care in a communal setting to those involved with the criminal justice system. This includes probationers and parolees, court-ordered individuals and women referred by DFCS. They even support women experiencing homelessness or at risk due to substance use and mental health challenges, unemployment or early judicial release. Individuals living with HIV/AIDS who struggle with substance use are welcome as well.

Residents live in a stable, recovery-focused setting that inspires healing and receive 24-hour support as they navigate their challenges. Depending on your personalized recovery goals, the program may last between six months and a year.

Supportive Living for Recovery and Empowerment

You’ll attend a daily therapy group while onsite to build resilience, stability and coping strategies that support sobriety and prevent relapse. Sessions are tailored to help you process past traumatic experiences that influence your present condition.

You’ll also attend mandatory daily onsite or offsite 12-step meetings of AA or NA to build a strong support network and reinforce your commitment to recovery. Family involvement is emphasized and integrated into the program to strengthen your natural support networks and rebuild trust with loved ones.

Women living with HIV/AIDS benefit from counseling and support groups that improve self-confidence, reduce stigma and promote emotional strength. The program may integrate core elements of the agency’s welfare-to-work services, from job training or education to resume building and interview preparation.

This equips you with practical skills for securing and maintaining meaningful employment as you reenter the community. You’ll also have time for outdoor leisure like movies, concerts and circuses to unwind and have fun in recovery.

You may benefit from ongoing case management, including assistance with transportation, stable housing and medical care to support lasting stability as you move forward.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

The length of time in outpatient rehab varies by individual, based on their recovery needs.

This support will continue as long as you need it, which could be weeks or more than a year.
