Strategies for Change, formerly known as Chemical Dependency
Center for Women was founded in 1978 under the name Womens Stress Alternatives, with the
original purpose of treating women addicted to prescription medications. It soon became
apparent that addiction issues went beyond prescription abuse. Womens Stress Alternatives
evolved to become Chemical Dependency Center for Women. Since the early years, Chemical
Dependency Center for Women established itself as a cornerstone within Sacramentos recovery
community, specializing in the treatment of women facing addiction.
