SeaChange Anchor Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

SeaChange Anchor is a certified women's recovery residence in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in Horry County. It is the more structured of two programs SeaChange runs for women, with clinical support and therapeutic programming for those early in recovery. The address is not published, and applications are taken online.

A Structured Women's Sober House for Early Recovery

The program is built for the first stretch, when accountability has to come from outside because it cannot yet come from inside. Residents follow a comprehensive daily recovery schedule with therapeutic programming and a high degree of structure, which suits a woman leaving detox or inpatient care who would struggle in a house that expected her to organize her own days.

Recovery Capital as the Measure of Progress

SeaChange frames its work around recovery capital, the accumulated stock of skills, relationships, employment and stability that determines whether sobriety survives after the housing ends. Measuring a resident against what she has built changes what the program spends its time on.

Women's Recovery Housing on the Grand Strand

Myrtle Beach is the largest city in Horry County, though Conway is the county seat, and the local economy runs on a hospitality season that peaks in summer and empties in winter. That cycle is hard on anyone rebuilding, and it is a reason to ask early how the program supports residents through the off season. Grand Strand Medical Center, Horry Georgetown Technical College and Coastal Carolina University are all within the county.

What Certification Establishes for This Sober Living Home

Certification under Act 160 of 2024 commits the residence to written fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, a published code of ethics, and complaints reviewed outside the household. Some forms of medication-assisted treatment are accepted.
