Mrs. Wilson's - Shawmont Lane Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Mrs. Wilson's – Shawmont Lane is a women's sober living home on Shawmont Lane in Willingboro, New Jersey, in Burlington County. It is operated by Mrs. Wilson's, a New Jersey organization that runs recovery housing for women under the Alfre Inc. name, and it holds a New Jersey Department of Community Affairs license as a Class F Cooperative Sober Living Residence.

A Women's Sober House on Shawmont Lane

Willingboro is a planned Burlington County township built in the mid-twentieth century around a series of residential loops and cul-de-sacs, and Shawmont Lane sits inside that same street pattern. The layout keeps traffic light and neighbors close, and Willingboro's shopping centers and NJ Transit bus connections along Route 130 put daily errands within easy reach without requiring a car.

Part of the Mrs. Wilson's Recovery Housing Network

Mrs. Wilson's operates as a women-focused recovery housing organization in New Jersey, with another licensed property under the same name in Morristown, roughly an hour and a half north in Morris County. Running homes in two different regions of the state under one name gives residents a consistent set of expectations no matter which Mrs. Wilson's house they move into.

A Licensed Recovery Residence for Women

New Jersey requires a Class F license for any cooperative sober living residence, issued by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, and this Shawmont Lane property holds one. The license covers the physical property and holds the operator to state standards independent of anything Mrs. Wilson's publishes about its program for women in recovery.

Recovery Housing in Burlington County

Willingboro sits closer to Philadelphia than to Mount Holly, the Burlington County seat, and its dense residential layout makes it one of the more walkable communities in a county that otherwise stretches from the Delaware River well into the Pine Barrens. That density, combined with the township's bus access, gives residents of this Mrs. Wilson's house practical routes to work and appointments without relying on a car.

Applying to This Willingboro Sober House

Applications for the Shawmont Lane house go through Mrs. Wilson's directly. Worth asking: the weekly cost, whether the house is staffed around the clock, how intake works alongside the organization's Morristown property, and what support is available for women coming from outpatient treatment or a residential program.
