Serving Women in Fort Dodge

YWCA of Fort Dodge

Established in 1909

We are state licensed substance abuse treatment facility,

Which functions to provide a clinically managed residential treatment for women and women with children.

Welcome to YWCA of Fort Dodge

The YWCA of Fort Dodge has been in existence since 1909, and at its current location since 1914. The three-story facility provides residents for those women with children and single women seeking recovery from substance. This 90-day substance use treatment program offers a variety of services and opportunities to both women and men, such as evidence-based addiction programming, AA and NA support meetings, laundry facilities, gym access, and donation items (clothing, hygiene, etc.) to help meet their needs. The YWCA also acts as a Food Pantry for Fort Dodge, helping to decrease food insecurity in our community.

What We Do

Substance abuse is a life-threatening medical condition. Untreated, those who suffer this illness will die: they will overdose; they will develop cancers of the liver, pancreas and urinary tract.

I have developed as a sober healthy, woman with help of the YWCA. I now have fighting chance to make it in this world, and I owe much of that to the YWCA Center for Life Empowerment.

Being at the YWCA Center for Life Empowerment,, I’ve learned the amazing person, woman, and mother that I am. I’ve gained absolutely amazing bonds and friendships with women.
