Patrick's Place Women's Recovery House Unit A Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Patrick's Place Women's Recovery House Unit A is a certified women's sober house in Colville, Washington, in Stevens County, holding Level 2 certification from the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences.

A Women's Sober House in Colville

This residence serves women in recovery in Colville, the seat of Stevens County and the largest town in the northeastern corner of Washington. A single-gender house settles the basics for a woman comparing sober living options here: shared space, house meetings and rules all apply to one population, with one set of expectations for everyone under the roof.

What WAQRR Level 2 Certification Establishes

Certification is the most useful public fact attached to this listing, because it is verifiable and it constrains behavior. A residence certified at Level 2 by the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, has committed to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and a complaint process outside the house. Level 2 describes a peer-supported residence with on-site leadership.

Recovery Housing in Stevens County

Colville serves as the commercial and government center for Stevens County and much of rural northeastern Washington, concentrating the courthouse, outpatient providers and employers that a resident coming out of treatment typically needs in the first months. Recovery housing options are limited across this part of the state, which makes a certified Colville sober house a regional resource instead of a purely local one.

What to Ask Before Moving Into Unit A

Applications go through Patrick's Place Women's Recovery House directly. The questions worth asking are the ones certification obliges an answer to: what the fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned, what happens after a relapse, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. A certified sober house has to put those answers in writing before anyone signs.
