Promise of Hope Sober Living Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Promise of Hope Sober Living is a women's sober living home in Dudley, Georgia, in Laurens County. The faith-based program is run by Promise of Hope, Inc., which also operates a men's residence in nearby Cochran.

A Women's Sober House on Wayne Road

This sober living home in Dudley serves women only, giving residents a single-gender household built around a Christian recovery model. Dudley is a small community in Laurens County, close to Dublin, the county seat, where most of the area's outpatient providers, employers and services are concentrated.

A Faith-Based Recovery Housing Model

Promise of Hope, Inc. describes its mission in explicitly Christian terms, framing recovery as inseparable from a resident's relationship with her faith alongside the practical work of rebuilding a stable life. Anyone considering the program should know that framework going in, since it shapes the house's daily rhythm and its expectations as much as any set of written rules would.

One Organization, Two Single-Gender Houses

Women apply to the Dudley house, and men are served separately at Promise of Hope's residence in Cochran. Keeping the genders in different towns is a deliberate structure, and it means a referral or a transfer between the two goes through people who already know the organization's model.

Laurens County and the Dublin Corridor

Dudley sits just outside Dublin, the seat of Laurens County and the commercial center of this part of Middle Georgia. That proximity gives residents of the Wayne Road house access to Dublin's hospital, outpatient providers and job base without needing to relocate to a larger city.

Applying to Promise of Hope Sober Living

Women apply directly to Promise of Hope, Inc. Worth asking before move-in: how the faith-based curriculum fits into daily structure, what the program expects in the first month, and how the organization handles a resident who needs a different level of care. A program built around a specific mission should be able to explain how that mission shows up day to day.

The program in Dudley is set to house 24 women for a period of 12 months.  An extension can be granted if desired by the resident and approved by the Advisory Board. In September of 1999 the organization became a member in good standing with the Georgia Association of Recovery Residences. This accreditation states that the ministry provides appropriate services for individuals who suffer from chemical dependency. In 2002 the organization was accredited by Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.
