About this Recovery Home
Naumes Cottage is a women's recovery residence in Medford, Oregon, the seat of Jackson County, operated by Addictions Recovery Center. It houses up to four women and up to two children at a time.
A Women's Recovery Home That Accepts Children
Four women and two children is a small household by any measure, and the size is the point. Transition housing that accepts children is rare in southern Oregon, and its absence is one of the main reasons mothers leave treatment early or decline residential care in the first place. A woman here does not have to choose between finishing a course of treatment and keeping her child with her. The scale also means the household runs on relationships instead of on a rulebook enforced by a rotating staff.
Transition Housing After Treatment in Southern Oregon
Addictions Recovery Center runs this as low-cost housing for people in the early stages of recovery who are moving to the next level of care. Certified recovery mentors work with residents on the practical steps of reentering the community, which in Medford means a job, a bus pass, a court obligation and a routine that holds. The organization's Sustained Treatment and Recovery program extends treatment services at all levels of care for up to a year and can include housing here, so a stay is not automatically short. Women's housing at this cottage is funded in part by the Reed and Carolee Walker Foundation.
Medford, Jackson County and Rogue Valley Recovery Housing
Medford is the largest city in southern Oregon and the seat of Jackson County, which makes it the place where everything a person in recovery has to do is located. The Jackson County Circuit Court, Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center, Rogue Community College and the region's outpatient providers are all inside the city, and Rogue Valley Transportation District buses connect them to Central Point, Phoenix, Talent and Ashland. For a woman coming out of treatment in a smaller Rogue Valley town, Medford is usually the nearest address within reach of all of it at once.
What an MHACBO-Accredited Provider Commits To
The organization operating this residence is accredited by the Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Oregon requires no such credential, so holding it is a choice. It commits the provider to a written code of ethics, to disclosing fees and house rules before a resident moves in, to a documented relapse and discharge policy, and to a complaint process that reaches past the house itself.
Applying for a Bed at This Medford Sober Living Home
The street address is not published, and placement runs through the provider. Referrals commonly come from within its own treatment programs, from other Rogue Valley providers and from the courts. Questions worth asking before a move: what the monthly cost is and what it covers, what the rules are on children's ages and custody arrangements, how long a stay typically runs, what happens after a relapse, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted.
