Incest Survivors Support Group

Incest refers to any sexual activity between closely related persons that is illegal or socially taboo. Consensual adult incest is very rare. Incest between adults and prepubescent or adolescent children is a form of child sexual abuse that has been shown to be one of the most extreme forms of childhood trauma.

residential treatment centers?

This is my first post here. I have been searching the net for a residential treatment center that specializes in sexual abuse/incest trauma. Does anyone have a recommendation in the NY/NJ/CT area? I'd even take recommendations out of this area.
Please respond as quickly as possible - I'm in a pretty bad state of mind right now. Thanks

Have you tried connecting with your local rape crisis center? That might be an option, or also if you can find the way to contact the RAINN organization? Wish I could be of more help here.

And welcome to DS!

Thanks for the input. The majority of the sexual assault centers/ crisis centers I've contacted simply recommend their local hospital's psychiatric unit for inpatient treatment and I already tried that route 3 years ago. The RAINN website doesn't have any info on residential centers ( just local crisis centers), but I'm going to try to give them a call to see if they can offer more info.

I spent six weeks inpatient. I recommend the Refuge: A Healing Place in central Florida.

Thank you for your quick response, and please correct me if I'm mistaken but it seems like The Refuge is an addiction treatment center that also deals with the underlying issues of PTSD and Trauma. Is that correct?
I should have been clearer when I first posted my question, but I am not looking for an addiction treatment center. That's the problem, while there are hundreds of facilities for addiction, I've only been able to locate one program (WIIT, in Hollywood, Florida) that strictly specializes in treating women with PTSD and Sexual Abuse/incest Trauma.
Does anyone have any feedback on the WIIT program? I'm waiting to hear back from them today.

They do treat addictions and address destructive coping skills - like cutting (raises hand.)

Peace be with you on your journey...

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
