Sylvia's Sanctuary Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Sylvia's Sanctuary is a women's sober living home in Yakima, Washington, in Yakima County, certified at Level 2 and operated by Yakima Valley Recovery.

A Women's Sober House in Yakima

Sylvia's Sanctuary sits in a quiet residential setting and is the one house in the Yakima Valley Recovery network set aside specifically for women. Yakima Valley Recovery staffs a dedicated women's program manager, so house rules, meetings and shared space here answer to someone running the program for women specifically, not a policy written for the operator's larger men's population.

WAQRR Level 2 Certification

Level 2 certification through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences means Sylvia's Sanctuary has published a code of ethics, disclosed its fees and rules in writing, and accepts complaint review from outside the house. Medically assisted treatment is accepted here as it is across the operator's other homes.

Yakima County Recovery Housing for Women

Yakima is the county seat and regional hub, putting outpatient providers, courts and community college classes within reach of a resident at Sylvia's Sanctuary without a long commute.

The Only Women's House in the Network

Because Sylvia's Sanctuary is Yakima Valley Recovery's dedicated women's address, a woman applying to the organization is considered for this house specifically, while the operator's other eleven homes across Yakima and Wapato serve men.
