Magnolia Row Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Magnolia Row is a recovery residence for women in Jacksonville, Florida, in Duval County, operated by Gateway Community Services in the city's historic Riverside District.

Three Bungalows for Women With Children in Riverside

Magnolia Row is built as three side-by-side bungalows sharing outdoor space, a smaller and more residential setting than Gateway's larger Alumni House campus. It is designed specifically for women with children, a narrower population than most sober houses serve and one that solves a real problem: a mother in early recovery who cannot bring her children into a shared house has few other options.

Family-Centered Recovery Housing

Housing a mother and her children together keeps a family intact through a period that would otherwise often mean months apart. The bungalow layout gives each family its own space while keeping neighbors close enough for the peer support that makes recovery housing work. Gateway Community Services describes the goal as letting residents build a life free of alcohol and drugs without giving up custody of their children in the process.

Part of Gateway Community Services' Housing Continuum

Magnolia Row is one piece of a larger housing system Gateway Community Services runs across Jacksonville, alongside Independence Village and other locations the organization maintains for men and women in recovery. Its certification is currently pending, and families evaluating the program should confirm where that stands directly with Gateway.

Riverside and Recovery Housing in Jacksonville

Riverside is one of Jacksonville's older, tree-lined residential neighborhoods, minutes from downtown and from the Duval County services a family in recovery is likely to need, including courts, outpatient providers and Gateway's own clinical campus. That location lets a mother at Magnolia Row keep her children in a stable, walkable neighborhood while she works her own recovery.
