DBT is especially supportive for women who feel emotionally overwhelmed, reactive, or unsure how to cope without alcohol or substances.

This approach may be helpful for women who struggle with emotional swings, difficulty setting boundaries, or managing stress in relationships and daily life.

At Tranquil Palms, DBT skills are introduced through individual therapy and women’s groups. Women learn tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and grounding — always at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Tranquil Palms by a trusted counselor at another rehab facility when I was struggling to maintain sobriety, and I’m so glad I listened. It’s women’s-only with amazing therapists, psychiatric care, real case management, and groups that are genuine and purposeful instead of just killing time. I never once felt like just a “client” while I was there. I’ve felt supported, seen, challenged, and genuinely cared for. If you’re a woman looking for real recovery with real people who show up, this is the place. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The entire staff at Tranquil Palms are absolutely wonderful. They are kind, compassionate, understanding and worked with me where I was at in my healing process. I never felt like a burden or an insurance pay check, which has sometimes been my experience with other facilities. I have nothing but praise for the program and staff. If you’re looking for a facility where you will be treated with kindness and respect I’d highly recommend Tranquil Palms.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The strengths based approach used at T.P. allows for treatment to be individualized for each person. The curriculum is diverse and evidence based. Staff is knowledgeable, caring and professional. My 4th rehab so I thought I knew it all. But, they taught me how to think in different ways.  AND I felt change..positive changes. I also saw my hope, my self esteem and my ability to know gratitude foster and grow. I was able to love again; myself in particular. I got SOBER and MOTIVATED.  It's been a year and 1/2 of sobriety. I have a professional job, a marriage of 39 years, loving kids/grands, friends and a peace of mind I never expected. I am forever indebted to Tranquil Palms and staff. I truly HOPE they know how grateful I am.
