Staffed and managed 24 hours a day by members of the recovery community, Abbe’s Sanctuary for Women House provides a foundation for residents to build a solid support group for themselves. Our goal is to prepare our residents to make a healthy transition back to "the real world". At Abbe’s Sanctuary for Women we focus on maintaining physical and emotional sobriety through the philosophy of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous / Narcotics Anonymous.
The sober residence experience often follows traditional treatment or detox giving the person the best opportunity for recovery. Personal experience tells us that the primary reason for relapse is that after traditional treatment the alcoholic or drug abuser returns to the same people, places and things that fueled their addiction in the first place. The ability to relocate and to live with other people in recovery has been proven to work.
Abbe’s Sanctuary for Women operates as a loving, dignified transitional living environment with a focus on healthy structure and routine. With that in mind, we have Program Guidelines that we expect residents to adhere to.
