About this Sober House
Women's Addiction Recovery Manor is a sober living home in Henderson, Kentucky, in Henderson County. It is a 32-unit residence built specifically for recovery housing in 2011 and is operated by the Center for Addiction Recovery of Henderson, a Recovery Kentucky initiative affiliate known by the acronym WARM.
A Purpose-Built Women's Recovery Residence
Most sober living homes are converted from ordinary houses. Women's Addiction Recovery Manor was built for this use from the ground up in 2011, with 32 units laid out from the start for long-term residents. That distinction shows up in the day-to-day: shared spaces, bathrooms and unit counts were planned around recovery housing from the design stage.
Admission Standards at This Henderson Sober House
WARM sets specific entry requirements before a woman can move in: at least six months already completed in an approved recovery program, verifiable income, a background check and ongoing random drug screening. Those standards filter for residents who are stable enough to sustain a longer stay, and they give a referring counselor or family member a concrete basis for recommending the house.
Kentucky's Certification Requirement for Recovery Housing
Kentucky requires every recovery residence to be certified through the Kentucky Recovery Housing Network, and state agencies and health providers are barred from referring anyone to a house that has not gone through that process. That law is part of why the Recovery Kentucky network, which the Center for Addiction Recovery of Henderson belongs to, has built its houses around one common set of standards.
Sister Campus for Men in Bowling Green
The same nonprofit runs Men's Addiction Recovery Campus in Bowling Green, a men's residence operated under the same organizational umbrella and the same admission philosophy. A family evaluating WARM for a woman and a men's placement for someone else in the household can work with one organization instead of two.
Recovery Housing in Henderson County
Henderson is the seat of Henderson County, on the Ohio River in western Kentucky, and it is a small enough city that a 32-unit recovery residence represents a meaningful share of the area's dedicated recovery housing. For women who grew up in or near Henderson, that means the option to rebuild close to an existing support network in a familiar place.
Transitional Phase
In this phase clients are near completion of the 12th step of Alcoholics Anonymous and are ready to begin the process of reentry. Reentry means being introduced and coming back into the lives of those most directly affected by their addiction.
Residents may become a peer mentor at WARM, obtain outside employment, continue their program of recovery, begin to visit and repair relationships with children and other family members, address court and legal issues, and work diligently to maintain sobriety while still in the protected environment of the facility.
