What is a Women’s Sober House?

A women’s sober house is a safe and serene home that is designed specifically to assist women in maintaining their goals of sobriety and recovery from addiction in a positive and encouraging manner. While many women who come to stay at a women’s sober house have recently completed detox, some may be in the process of transitioning from a rehabilitation facility.

What are the benefits of a women’s sober house?

A women’s sober house can provide residents with an encouraging and supportive environment that enables them to discover new ways of coping with their addiction.

• Women who stay at a transitional home after treatment are much more likely to remain sober throughout the years than women who return to their surroundings directly.
• Women learn new ways to cope with daily stresses and circumstances that might trigger their addiction.
• Women are taught various arts, techniques, activities, and practices that enable them to develop therapeutic hobbies that they can enjoy for years to come.
• Our sober house encourages incorporation of traditional forms of therapy with alternative techniques in order to maximize a woman’s chances of maintaining sobriety.

What kind of activities are offered?

A number of activities and educational opportunities are offered to residents that focus on building self-esteem and confidence, overcoming addiction, reaching physical, mental, and spiritual health, and achieving the ability to enjoy life to the fullest while remaining sober. Some of these include:

• Yoga
• Art
• Dance
• Crafts
• Organic Gardening
• Massage Therapy
• Meditation
• Music
• Nutrition

Luna Cottage is a small facility that focuses on the success of each individual as well as our group as a whole. We understand that each woman who is going through recovery will have different needs. We pride ourselves in being able to offer women the services that are unique to their needs.

Drug and alcohol addiction can be an extremely difficult experience. We at Luna Cottage understand how frightening and confusing a new start can be, and we would like to encourage you to consider transitioning with us. After all, sometimes the next step you take can be the most important.
