About this Recovery Home
The Landing is a women's sober living home in Bay Minette, Alabama, the seat of Baldwin County. Certified at NARR Level III, it has capacity for 26 women and serves the Alabama Gulf Coast.
A Women's Recovery Residence in Bay Minette
Bay Minette is the Baldwin County seat, an inland town north of the beach communities that most people picture when they hear the county's name. That distinction is useful for a resident. The courthouse, the county jail, the probation offices and North Baldwin Infirmary are here, so a woman with legal obligations can meet them without a forty-mile drive, and the tourist-season churn of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach is somewhere else entirely.
Twenty-Six Beds of Level III Certified Recovery Housing
Twenty-six beds makes this one of the larger certified women's residences on the coast. Level III describes supervised recovery housing: defined staff roles, written service plans for residents, and life skills development inside the weekly program. Certification through the Alabama Alliance for Recovery Residences also binds the house to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process reaching past the house. Alabama requires none of it, which is what makes a certified bed worth looking for.
Where This Baldwin County Sober House Sits
The street address is not published, and placement runs through the operator. Bay Minette answers most of what a caller needs to know: it is a small county seat on Alabama Highway 59 and US Highway 31, about thirty miles from Mobile across the bay and roughly the same from Foley. Executive director Haley Beason handles placement, and a prospective resident learns the location through the application.
Recovery Housing on the Alabama Gulf Coast
Baldwin County is the largest county in Alabama by land area and one of the fastest growing, and its recovery housing has not kept pace with it. Women in Foley, Fairhope, Daphne and the beach communities face a short list, and a certified women's home in the county seat is often the only option that keeps them inside the county at all. Staying local preserves the things that hold a recovery together: family within a drive, a job that already exists, and a court that knows the case.
What to Ask This Sober Living Home Before Applying
Certification means the answers exist in writing, so ask for them: the weekly fee and what it covers, the deposit and how it is returned, whether staff are on site overnight, how bedrooms are assigned, what happens after a relapse, whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted, and how long women typically stay. A house with twenty-six beds should also be able to say how quickly a bed usually opens.
