Fresh Wind Recovery Ministry Men; Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Fresh Wind Recovery Ministry is a coed sober living program in Athens, Georgia, in Clarke County.

A Faith-Based Recovery Housing Ministry

Fresh Wind Recovery Ministry serves both men and women, operating separate housing for each within its faith-based recovery model. That structure lets the ministry serve a broader population than a single-gender house while still keeping men's and women's living space and house rules distinct.

Level II Certification Through GARR

The ministry holds Level II Type M, or Monitored, certification from the Georgia Association of Recovery Residences, or GARR, in a state that otherwise leaves recovery housing unlicensed.

Recovery Housing in a College Town

Athens is the seat of Clarke County and home to the University of Georgia, and that density of outpatient providers, Twelve Step meetings and entry-level jobs supports a Monitored-level program that expects residents to hold outside appointments and work on their own.

Applying to Fresh Wind Recovery Ministry

Men and women interested in the program apply directly through Fresh Wind Recovery Ministry. A prospective resident should ask how the ministry's faith-based approach fits alongside Twelve Step work, and how men's and women's housing are kept separate.
