About this Recovery House
Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Center - Benton Harbor is a women's sober living home in Benton Harbor, Michigan, in Berrien County. Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Center operates it, the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences certifies it at Level 3, and MARR records it as ADA accessible. The street address is not published, and applications go through the operator.
Accessible Recovery Housing in Berrien County
MARR records very few Michigan residences as ADA accessible, and this is one of them. For a woman using a wheelchair, recovering from an injury, or living with a mobility or chronic health condition, that line eliminates most of the search in one step. Accessibility also tends to travel with other things a resident cares about: ground-floor bedrooms, a bathroom someone can actually use, and a building that has been assessed by someone other than its owner.
A Women's Recovery Residence in the Twin Cities
Benton Harbor and St. Joseph face each other across the mouth of the St. Joseph River, and between them they hold Berrien County's employment, its hospital and its county government, with the county seat on the St. Joseph side. Whirlpool keeps its corporate headquarters in Benton Harbor, and the surrounding fruit belt and lakeshore tourism carry a large seasonal workforce. A resident looking for entry-level work in the first months has more to choose from here than anywhere else in southwest Michigan.
Outpatient Treatment Alongside This Sober Living Home
Sacred Heart connects every housing participant to outpatient substance use services and to community resources, and each resident works with a peer recovery coach on a wellness plan. The clinical work happens in a program; the house supplies the address, the household and the structure between appointments. Residents engaged in medication-assisted treatment are welcomed, and MARR records this residence as accepting it.
How This Recovery Housing Is Paid For
Housing here is funded through limited grant dollars for people living in specific counties, with an affordable self-pay rate published for anyone outside that funding. The practical consequence is that a woman's county of residence is part of the intake conversation, and it is the first thing to ask about. Certification obliges the residence to put the fee structure in writing before anyone moves in.
MARR Certification and Level 3 Recovery Homes
Recovery residences in Michigan hold no state license, because the state does not issue one, and certification through the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences is voluntary. A house that holds it has agreed to a code of ethics, advance written disclosure of fees and rules, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process. Level 3 in the framework of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences means supervised housing with paid staff, administrative oversight and structured programming.
Berrien County Recovery Housing for Women Leaving Custody
The residence is recorded as felony friendly. Berrien County runs one of the busier court dockets in southwest Michigan, and housing that will consider a record is frequently the condition on which a release plan turns. Combined with grant funding and accessibility, this house reaches three groups that recovery housing most often turns away, which is what makes it useful well beyond the city limits.
