Recovery Base - Women Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Recovery Base - Women is a women's recovery residence in Cayce, South Carolina, in Lexington County, certified by the South Carolina Alliance for Recovery Residences. It sits within a Midlands network of three houses and accepts all forms of medication-assisted treatment. The address is not published, and applications are taken online.

A Women's Sober House in the Midlands

The household is women only, which settles bathrooms, house meetings and shared space in one decision and lets the operator write expectations for one population. Women here take part in the same six month program the organization runs across its houses, meeting three times weekly to work on employment readiness, applications, interviewing and the practical business of rebuilding independence.

Employment Readiness as the Core of This Recovery Home

Most recovery housing asks residents to find work. This one teaches the mechanics of it. Sessions cover how to present in an interview, how to complete job, housing and benefits applications, and how to keep going after a rejection. For a woman with a thin resume or a record that complicates hiring, that curriculum is the part of the program that changes what happens after she leaves.

Certified Recovery Housing in Lexington County

Certification under Act 160 of 2024 binds the residence to written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, a published code of ethics and an outside complaint route. It also keeps the house eligible for referrals from the courts, probation and state agencies, which South Carolina restricts to credentialed housing. Lexington County holds a large share of the Columbia metro's population and comparatively few certified beds for women.

What to Ask This Cayce Sober Living Home

Applications go through Recovery Base. Ask how bedrooms are assigned, what the fee covers, how the program schedule fits around shift work, and whether the house helps with transportation across the river into Columbia.
