About this Recovery House
Living Free Women and Children's Transitional Living House is a recovery residence in Pahrump, Nevada, in Nye County. It houses pregnant women and women with their children, which is the scarcest kind of bed in the state.
A Sober Living House for Women and Children
Most sober living in Nevada takes adults only, and a mother in early recovery is routinely asked to choose between a bed and her children. This house removes that choice. Pregnant women and women with children in their care live here together, and the program is built around households that include kids. Living Free does not publish street addresses for its residences, so placement is arranged through the operator.
Why Family Recovery Housing Is Scarce in Nevada
Housing children alongside adults in recovery costs more and demands more: bedrooms instead of bunks, supervision, school enrollment, and a household schedule built around a five-year-old instead of a work shift. Few operators take it on, and fewer still in a rural county. Federal treatment funding puts pregnant women at the front of the admission queue in Nevada for the same reason it does everywhere, which is that the window to intervene is short and the outcome affects two people. Housing is the part of that promise that most often fails to materialize. Here it exists.
What This Pahrump Sober House Provides
The operator states that residents pay no housing fee, that utilities are covered, and that gym membership is included with a bed. Staff visit the houses daily. For a mother with no income, arriving from detox or treatment with children in tow, the absence of a weekly charge is what makes the placement possible at all, and the daily contact is what makes it supervised without putting a stranger in the house overnight.
Nye County Recovery Housing and the Pahrump Valley
Pahrump is the population center of Nye County, an unincorporated town in a desert valley west of Las Vegas across the Spring Mountains, governed from a county seat in Tonopah that sits hours north. Schools, the sheriff, a medical center and the courts are all in town. A mother placed here keeps her children in one school district and keeps her own appointments in the same valley, and that continuity is worth more to a family in recovery than almost any feature of a building.

Applications go through Living Free Health & Fitness, listed in Nevada's certified behavioral health provider search with a transitional housing service level. Ask how many children a household can hold and at what ages, whether school and childcare arrangements are supported, whether the bed depends on enrollment in the organization's treatment services, what the expected length of stay is, and what the written policy says about relapse when children live in the house.
