Sober Living America Newnan Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Sober Living America Newnan is a coed recovery home in Newnan, Georgia, the seat of Coweta County on the southwestern edge of metro Atlanta. It is one of ten Georgia houses run by Sober Living America, a nonprofit with twenty-four years in recovery housing and locations in a dozen states. The street address is not published, and placement runs through the operator.

A Sober Living Home on the I-85 South Corridor

Newnan sits forty miles below Atlanta on I-85, close enough that a resident can hold a job in the south metro and far enough that the city has its own courthouse, hospital and employment base. Coweta County's courts and administration are downtown around the square, and Piedmont Newnan Hospital serves the county from the east side. For someone who needs distance from the neighborhoods attached to their using without leaving reach of the metro area, that geography does real work.

Coed Recovery Housing in Coweta County

The residence takes men and women. Coweta is one of the faster growing counties in Georgia, and its recovery housing has not kept pace with its population, so beds go quickly and people from Fayette, Heard and Meriwether counties compete for the same ones. A coed house in the county seat serves a wider slice of that demand than a single-gender residence can.

Georgia's Voluntary Approach to Sober House Accreditation

The state licenses clinical treatment programs and does not license recovery residences, a distinction the Georgia Attorney General's consumer division sets out for the public. Accreditation through GARR and comparable bodies is voluntary and residence by residence. Practically, an applicant should treat written documentation as the substitute for a state file: fees, rules, relapse policy, discharge policy, and a complaint path above the house.

What This Newnan Sober House Is For

Recovery housing suits a person coming out of detox, residential treatment or jail who has somewhere to be during the day, or who can find it inside a month. Anyone who needs medical supervision on site is a poor match for any sober living arrangement, in Newnan or anywhere else. The questions to put to the operator are capacity, curfew, whether a manager lives in the house, how bedrooms are assigned, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted.
