About this Sober House

The Well Women's Serenity House is a women's sober living home in Tucson, Arizona, in Pima County. Founder Jelee Purvis built the program around a Christian model of recovery after her own years of struggle with addiction, and the house today takes in women coming out of homelessness, the parole and probation system, and involvement with Arizona's child welfare system.

A Faith-Based Women's Sober Living Home

Prayer and meditation are part of daily life at this Tucson recovery residence, and residents work toward sobriety through what the house describes as a growing relationship with Christ alongside standard peer support. That framing draws a specific kind of resident: someone looking for a faith-centered household, and it is a real factor to weigh before applying.

Who Lives at This Recovery Residence

The house takes in women experiencing homelessness, women on parole or probation, and women navigating Arizona's Department of Child Safety system, including mothers working to reunite with their children. Female veterans are also part of the household mix. The Well accepts SSI and SSDI income, which keeps the housing reachable for women without steady employment yet.

This Sober House's Location on Tucson's East Side

The house sits on East Golf Links Road, a corridor lined with the everyday services a resident needs close by: grocery stores, bus lines and clinics along a single stretch of road on Tucson's east side. That location keeps daily errands and appointments within easy reach on the same side of town.

Recovery Housing in Tucson and Pima County

Tucson is the seat of Pima County and the population and service center for southern Arizona, and that scale supports a wide range of women's recovery housing options. A Tucson address puts a resident near the county's courts, the University of Arizona's health system and the outpatient providers that a probation or child welfare case often requires.

Applying to This Tucson Recovery Home

The Well is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and applications go directly to the organization. Because the house works closely with parole officers and Arizona's Department of Child Safety, women arriving through those systems often already have a caseworker coordinating the referral, and women applying on their own are held to the same intake process.
