About this Recovery Home

ABSOLUTE Ministries Women's House is a certified sober living home for women in Spanaway, Washington, in Pierce County, run by ABSOLUTE Ministries.

A Women's Sober House in Spanaway

This residence houses women working through early recovery under ABSOLUTE Ministries' faith-based program. Spanaway is a Pierce County community between Tacoma and Lake Tapps, and it gives residents a base close to the ministry's other South Sound houses without putting them in the middle of a large city.

ABSOLUTE Ministries' Approach to Women's Recovery Housing

Women in this house are expected to hold a job or steady volunteer role, complete a personal development workbook and build a connection with a local church, the same three commitments the ministry has asked of every resident since it started housing people in 2009. Structure comes from those commitments, not a fixed program length.

What Certification Confirms Here

This house is certified by the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences, Washington's NARR affiliate. Because certification is voluntary in this state, holding it means the operator has agreed to a code of ethics, written disclosure of house rules and fees, and a complaint process outside the house.

Recovery Housing Across Pierce County

Spanaway sits close enough to Tacoma for residents to reach outpatient providers and job opportunities across the South Sound, while staying inside the smaller, quieter community ABSOLUTE Ministries has built several of its houses around. Women here are part of the same network of houses the ministry operates in Bonney Lake, Lake Tapps and Puyallup.
