Answered from this center's own federal listing — not from marketing copy.

Alcoholism Center for Women appears in SAMHSA's federal treatment locator, the U.S. government's official directory of licensed substance-use providers, and reports the following credentials: CARF and State-licensed.

Ask them directly what you would pay.
