Women's House

The Vital Need For A Gender Specific Recovery Home For Women:

Women wait longer to seek help as leaders in their family systems, often progressing to a more chronic and acute stage of substance addiction by the time they become residents.

Shame and stigma for women seeking substance addiction recovery creates a desperate need for a collaborative living environment that promotes a safe, transformative, sustainable and peer mentoring recovery experience with other women.

Our women's house residents have experienced significant histories of trauma and abuse and need the house as a sanctuary for healing.

The social status and economic situations of our women's house residents prior to entry create struggles where they are often unemployed, facing housing insecurity, struggling with child reunification and drug related legal issues. Our year+ long process provides the time for our women's house resident to build a strong foundation fostering sustainable recovery.

Our year+ long drug free recovery home in a collaborative living environment gives our residents time to thaw out from their active addiction. 

Our high impact peer mentoring recovery home process from alumni with lived experiences focuses on long-term behavior change in parallel with active 12-Step participation, together creating a transformative mind, body and spirit experience for residents.

Our drug free recovery home is life saving for our residents, where their chronic and acute poly-substance addiction over many years is often combined with using MAT (medically assisted treatment such as buprenorphine and methadone) as drugs of abuse.

Our weekly wellness activities such as yoga, breathwork meditation, recovery walking/running activities, and in-house gym and training help provide a whole person approach to recovery.

Our focus during the second half of our resident’s year+ long process in the house is on reintegration to their community as sober members of society through employment, building fellowship connections in the recovery community, mental health referrals as needed, relationship building with their family system, and developing coping skills to successfully live a transformed sober life.
