About this Recovery House
My House Ministry - Holland is a women's recovery residence in Holland, Michigan, in Ottawa County, whose seat is Grand Haven. It holds Level 3 certification from the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences and runs an eighteen-month transitional housing program for women and their children.
An Eighteen-Month Women's Sober Living Program
Eighteen months is the number that separates this residence from most of the recovery housing around it. A ninety-day stay gets a woman sober and hands her back the same housing problem she arrived with; a year and a half is long enough to finish a credential, hold a job through a bad month, repair a credit record and save a deposit. The program is built for that timeline, with Christian mentoring and discipleship, life-skills instruction and financial coaching aimed squarely at independent, secure living afterward.
A Recovery Home Where Women Live Alongside Their Children
Children live with their mothers here, which removes the choice that keeps many women out of recovery housing entirely. The household is described as a place where women learn skills from one another and where healthy relationships are modeled instead of merely discussed, and with children in the house that modeling is the curriculum. Anyone applying should ask about ages, school arrangements and how the house handles a mother's parenting time.
What MARR Certification Establishes for This Recovery Residence
Michigan does not license, certify or register recovery residences, so certification through the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences is voluntary and it is the strongest checkable claim on this listing. The house commits to a written code of ethics, discloses its fees and rules before move-in, keeps a written relapse and discharge policy, and accepts complaint review from outside. Level 3 describes supervised housing operated by an organization with staff in defined roles and clinical care coming from outside providers.
What This Holland Sober House Costs
The program fee is $175 per week. Over an eighteen-month program that is a real commitment, and the financial coaching built into the curriculum exists partly to make it survivable: residents are expected to work, budget and plan while they pay it. Applicants should confirm what the weekly fee covers, what is due at move-in, and how the house handles a gap between jobs.
Medication and Reentry Access in This Women's Recovery Housing
Medication for opioid use disorder is accepted, and women with felony records are accepted. Both answers are recorded with the state affiliate. For a woman whose reunification or probation plan depends on continuous treatment and a stable address at the same time, a residence that accommodates a prescription and a record keeps the two from working against each other.
Recovery Housing in Holland and Ottawa County
Holland sits at the east end of Lake Macatawa on Michigan's west coast, with a walkable downtown, a college, a hospital and a manufacturing base that hires steadily. The street address of the residence is not published, and the only address the ministry publishes is an office, so placement runs through the operator. Ottawa County's seat is Grand Haven up the shore, and Grand Rapids is half an hour inland with the region's fuller set of outpatient providers and family courts, which puts a Holland resident inside reach of both.
