About The Womens Home
The Women's Home is a nonprofit residential recovery program in Arlington, Virginia that's licensed by the Commonwealth. The program helps women who are seeking sustained sobriety from drug or alcohol addiction.
Founded in 1963, this program has structured counseling, peer support and accountability. They're more of a sober living home than a conventional rehab.
Women's Recovery Home in Arlington
The Women's Home is a structured bridge between primary treatment and independent living for women ages 18 and older who have at least 30 days of sobriety. Residents commit to a minimum of three months, but stays can continue up to a year or longer.
This is a small and home based community of 12 women and a resident manager.
Each week here you'll have two group counseling sessions and one individual counseling session. There's also a house meeting focused on identifying relapse risks and building practical recovery tools.
You'll also need to attend at least five AA or NA meetings weekly and maintain a sponsor while you work toward individualized recovery goals. Former residents say the program's structure, experienced counselors and encouraging environment helped to strengthen their sobriety.
Accountability and Community Living
Daily life here centers on abstinence, behavioral change and shared responsibility. Residents spend their days working, seek employment, volunteering or attending intensive outpatient treatment. Meanwhile, they have communal dinners, rotating chores and household duties.
Keeping each other on track is a big part of life here too. They have random urine screens, curfews and sign-in procedures to reinforce accountability throughout your recovery journey.
An Accessible Place for Women
Located near Virginia Hospital Center and convenient to public transportation, The Women's Home serves women from Virginia and surrounding states. It's the only licensed women-only program of its type in Virginia and it brings more than six decades of continuous service to women's long-term sobriety.
The program is affordable, offering self pay and sliding scale assistance.
