About this Sober House

Steps To Recovery Gratitude House is a women's sober living home in Cottonwood, Arizona, in Yavapai County. It is operated by Steps To Recovery Homes, a nonprofit running structured, substance-free housing alongside its own therapy programs in the Verde Valley.

A Women's Sober Living Home Run by a Nonprofit

Gratitude House serves women only, and Steps To Recovery Homes structures the household around services the nonprofit provides directly. The organization's exact residential address is not published. Applications and placement go through the nonprofit itself, based in Cottonwood.

Therapy and Structure Behind This Cottonwood Recovery Home

Steps To Recovery Homes pairs its housing with individual therapy, trauma therapy, equine therapy and job development groups delivered through its own programming. For a resident at Gratitude House, the same organization managing the house also manages a meaningful share of her clinical and vocational support, keeping her recovery plan and her housing plan under one roof.

What Arizona Sober Living Certification Would Establish

The Arizona Recovery Housing Association certifies recovery residences that commit to a published code of ethics, disclose fees and rules before move-in, and accept complaints from outside the house. It is a credential separate from the therapeutic services a nonprofit like Steps To Recovery Homes runs directly, and it gives a family evaluating the organization from outside Cottonwood an independent record to check.

Recovery Housing in the Verde Valley

Cottonwood is the commercial center of the Verde Valley, the cluster of small Yavapai County communities that includes Clarkdale, Jerome and Camp Verde. A sober house here puts a resident within the valley's shared network of outpatient care and recovery meetings, without a move to Prescott or Flagstaff, the nearest larger cities on either side.
