Recovery Home for Women with Children Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Recovery Home for Women with Children is an Hour House recovery residence in Charleston, Illinois, in Coles County. The operator publishes it at 1501 18th Street.

Recovery Housing That Keeps Mothers and Children Together

Hour House publishes this address as residential recovery for women with children, and that single fact settles the question deciding most placements for a parent. A mother entering recovery housing is often asked to choose between a bed and custody of her kids. A residence built to take both removes the choice. The children live where she lives, and the household around her is made up of families in the same position.

What This Sober Living Program Teaches Alongside Sobriety

Hour House describes the program as helping residents stabilize sobriety while learning the skills needed to parent, establish employment, learn responsibility in finances and cope with life stress. Those are four named areas, and each one is a standard a mother will be measured against later by a caseworker, a court or an employer. A recovery home working on all four at once is doing what she has to do anyway, on a schedule and in company.

A Charleston Recovery Home With Its Own Address

The 18th Street property stands apart from the Hour House men's campus on Division Street and from the women's halfway and recovery home on Fourth Street. Three published addresses, three households. For a woman with children, a separate address means the daily life of the house is set by the population it serves, from the hours it keeps to the noise it tolerates.

Hour House Recovery Homes for Women in Coles County

Hour House publishes women's halfway house services, women's residential services and this recovery home for women with children, and it delivers further women's residential services in Lerna. A woman entering the organization can move between named stages without leaving Coles County or changing providers, and the same accreditation and state licensing sit behind each of them.

A Coles County Sober Living Address for Parents

Charleston is the Coles County seat and the home of Eastern Illinois University. County offices, the circuit court and the schools a resident's children would attend all sit in the same municipality as this address, which counts for more with a parent than with a single adult: a custody review, a school enrollment and a job interview can each be handled without leaving town. For a family searching Coles County recovery housing, an address that admits a mother and her children together is the distinguishing feature of this listing.
