OUR WOMEN'S HOUSE ON THE HILL
WELCOME HOME
We sit atop Acorn Hill. Walkable to downtown Madison where there is an indie movie theater, 8 restaurants, 4 coffee shops, R.J Julia's Bookstore, Starbucks and a Stop and Shop grocery store. We're less than a mile from the train station and on the bus line. Life's about to get a whole lot better now that you're sober.
We're not geniuses, but we have decades of experience helping people recover. However, we do love to talk about research: we designed our living and breathing structured sober living on the four pillars of recovery according to the research from SAMHSA. We host in-house activities that create (pillar one) community and ask house members to go to a 12-step meeting every day, assist in setting up a hand selected program that includes the mental, physical and spiritual components of (pillar two) wellness, add a (pillar three) safe, predictable home-life where sober life is cultured and help each woman build (pillar four) a sense of purpose.
