Living Free Women's Transitional Living House #2 Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Living Free Women's Transitional Living House #2 is a women's recovery home in Pahrump, Nevada, in Nye County. It is the second of two women's houses Living Free Health & Fitness runs in the Pahrump Valley.

A Second Women's Sober Living House in Pahrump

A program that opens a second house for the same population is responding to demand it already has. This is that second house. Households stay smaller when a program spreads residents across two addresses, and smaller households are easier to keep stable. Street addresses are not published for these residences, so an applicant is placed by the operator and learns where the house is at placement.

Daily Staff Visits to This Sober House

Staff go to the houses every day. What that buys a resident is consistency: the same people, the same expectations and a short interval between a problem starting and somebody noticing. It is a lighter touch than a live-in manager, and it suits women who are working, in outpatient treatment or caring for family during the day and do not need somebody watching the door.

Fitness, Food and This Recovery Housing Model

Living Free runs a gym and a cafe alongside its treatment services, and a residence in the program comes with gym membership included. The reasoning is straightforward. Early recovery leaves people with a great deal of unstructured time and a body that has taken a beating, and a free membership somewhere staffed by people who know why a resident is there fills part of both problems. It also gives the program a place to see residents outside the house.

Rural Nye County Recovery Housing

Pahrump sits in a broad desert valley between the Spring Mountains and the California line, unincorporated and governed from a county seat hours away in Tonopah. Nye County is enormous and sparsely settled, and the services a person in recovery needs are concentrated in this one town or over the mountains in Las Vegas. A woman placed here is inside the local network. A woman who has to leave for Las Vegas usually loses the local one.

Applying to This Pahrump Sober House

Applications run through Living Free Health & Fitness, listed in Nevada's certified behavioral health provider search with a transitional housing service level. There is no housing fee and utilities are covered, so the questions worth asking are about expectations: length of stay, whether the bed is tied to the organization's treatment services, how many women share a bedroom, and what the discharge policy says in writing.
