Donna's House Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Donna's House is a women's sober living home in Everett, Washington, in Snohomish County. It holds Level 2 certification from the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences and is operated by ODAT Recovery Communities.

A Women's Sober House in Everett

Donna's House gives women in recovery a single-gender household in the same city where ODAT keeps its office. That arrangement means bathrooms, common space and house meetings are shared only among women, and the operator managing the property is based nearby, not out of the area.

Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences Certification and What It Means

Certification is voluntary in Washington. Donna's House carries it anyway, at Level 2, which obligates ODAT to a published code of ethics, fees and house rules disclosed in writing before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process outside the house itself.

One House Among ODAT's Recovery Homes

ODAT Recovery Communities also runs Chris's House and Chris's House 2 for men in Everett, plus houses in Marysville and Edmonds, all under One Day At A Time Services, founded in Everett by Travis Gannon. That organization pairs housing with employment placement and peer navigator support that residents of Donna's House can draw on directly.

Everett and Snohomish County Recovery Housing

Everett is the county seat and the region's job and service hub, which matters for a woman rebuilding a routine after treatment or incarceration: courts, outpatient care and entry-level employment are all in the same city instead of spread across the county.

Applying to Donna's House

Applications go through ODAT Recovery Communities. Worth asking: current availability, whether a Department of Corrections or treatment-facility referral is required, and what the certified house rules and fees require in writing before move-in.
