Women’s Sober Living In Atlanta

Women’s sober living in Atlanta offers a safe and supportive environment where adult women can receive personalized support to help them achieve long-term recovery from addictions to alcohol and other drugs. Our gender-specific home is staffed by an all-female team of compassionate experts who are committed to providing the focused services that best meet the specific needs of each resident.

What is Sober Living for Women?

Unlike many addiction treatment environments, sober living programs provide a warm, home-like atmosphere where women can develop the skills and strategies that will empower them to resist relapse and pursue a healthier, drug-free future.

The many beneficial features of sober living for women include personalized counseling, reduced temptations to use alcohol and other drugs, customized services to help residents find stable housing and explore career opportunities, and planning services to promote continued success after women transition out of our sober living home.

The Importance of Sober Living for Women in Atlanta

The importance of sober living for women is that women can receive the customized guidance and support they need, so they can take essential steps on the path to recovery.

At our sober living program for women in Atlanta, Georgia, we understand that each resident is on a unique journey. We also believe that every woman who has struggled with addiction deserves to receive compassionate care within a supportive community. 

So many women whose lives have been impacted by substance abuse and addiction also suffer with feelings of shame and guilt. Here, every woman is celebrated for her courage and strength and reminded that she is worthy of living a healthier and more satisfying life.

Women and Substance Abuse

Substance abuse and addiction continue to negatively impact countless women in the United States and throughout the world. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), about 19.5 million women ages 18 and older have used marijuana, heroin, or another illicit drug in the past year. NIDA data also indicates that 8.4 million adult women in the U.S. have misused a prescription drug at least once in the previous 12 months.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) reports that women who abuse alcohol on a regular basis are more likely than men to experience damage to the liver, heart, and brain.  

One of the many benefits of choosing a women’s sober living residence is that you will work with professionals who understand the unique ways that substance abuse and addiction affect women.

What is it Like to Be in a Women's Sober Living?

In a women’s sober living home, you will interact with peers and professionals who understand the many challenges you have faced, and who are prepared to provide the services and support that will prepare you to make sustained progress toward improved quality of life. Being in a gender-specific environment for women may make it easier for you to address issues such as mental health concerns, family problems, relationships, and other matters that may have contributed to or been negatively impacted by your struggles with addiction. 

For example, it is a sad reality that many women who become addicted to alcohol or other drugs have a history of abuse, assault, and other types of trauma. We understand that this can be extremely difficult to talk about in mixed-gender groups, so we’ve created a safer and more welcoming space where essential conversations about vital topics can take place.

In our women’s sober living residence in Atlanta, you will be among people who will take the time to get to know you as an individual and who will truly care about your well-being.

How Do I Know I Need a Women's Sober Living?

Realizing that you need a women’s sober living program can be a significant step in your journey toward successful recovery. In addition to consulting with your healthcare provider and your loved ones, asking yourself the following questions can help you decide if you need a women’s sober living:

  • Do you want to live in a supportive environment that has been developed specifically for women?

  • Can you benefit from customized service and support as you work to establish a solid foundation for long-term recovery?

  • Are you ready to take greater accountability for your actions and decisions?

  • Would you like to get additional help to develop your relapse-prevention skills and enhance other capabilities that will help you maintain your recovery?

Making the decision to enter a women’s sober living in Atlanta or elsewhere isn’t always a simple or easy choice. But taking this important step can yield benefits that truly last a lifetime.
