About this Recovery House
Prodigal Kids House is a women's sober living home on Shellie Road in Jacksonville, Florida, run by Prodigal Kids, a ministry of Amen Always Church based in the city's Northside area.
A Women's Recovery Home in Jacksonville
Prodigal Kids House gives women in recovery a single-gender residence tied to a ministry that already runs behavioral health and family services in Northside Jacksonville. That connection means the house sits inside a broader support network.
A Ministry With Behavioral Health Programming
Amen Always Church, through Prodigal Kids, offers alcohol, tobacco and other drug prevention services, substance use intervention and an intensive outpatient program alongside community outreach and parent education. A resident at Prodigal Kids House has access to that same organization's behavioral health track without needing to build a relationship with an outside provider from scratch.
Partnering With Families, Not Just Individuals
Prodigal Kids describes its mission as partnering with parents to meet their children's needs, and the organization runs housing, counseling and referral services as part of that broader family-support model. For a woman with children in her life, a recovery home connected to a family-services ministry can matter in ways a standalone sober house cannot.
Sober Living Certification in Florida
Florida certifies recovery residences through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, the only credentialing body the state's Department of Children and Families has approved for this purpose. Certification is voluntary, so anyone considering Prodigal Kids House should confirm its current status directly with the ministry.
Jacksonville and Duval County Recovery Housing
Jacksonville is both the city and the county seat, since Duval County's government is consolidated with the city's, and Northside Jacksonville sits within reach of the outpatient and behavioral health providers concentrated across the metro area. That scale gives a resident at Prodigal Kids House a wide network of services without leaving city limits.
Our behavioral health services include prevention, substance use intervention, intensive outpatient program, and mental health counseling to help youth and their families address and deal with challenges that affect their relationships at home, in the community and at school. All youth receive a comprehensive assessment and are matched to services that best meet their needs. Prodigal Kids is a private, nonprofit substance abuse center that provides prevention, intervention services, and intensive outpatient program (IOP) for children and adolescents.
