About Dove Recovery House for Women, Inc.

Dove Recovery House for Women, Inc. is a sober living operator based in Indianapolis, Indiana, running certified women's recovery housing across two counties in the state. Founded in 2000, it has grown from one home in Marion County into the largest women's recovery housing program serving Marion and Dubois counties, admitting more than 100 women a year at no cost to residents.

An Indianapolis Recovery Housing Provider for Women

Dove Recovery House for Women is a housing and treatment organization built specifically around women recovering from substance use disorder, many of whom arrive with histories of homelessness or abuse. The organization pairs residential housing with its own clinical staff, which lets it serve women who need both a bed and treatment starting the same day.

Serving Marion and Dubois Counties

Two Dove Recovery House for Women residences currently serve Indiana:

• The Marion County home, in Indianapolis, serving 40 women at a time.
• Dove Recovery House of Dubois County, in Jasper, serving 15 women at a time.

A third location in Bartholomew County is under development and expected to open in 2026, which will extend the organization's reach into south central Indiana.

A Program Built Around Cost, Not Just Housing

Every Dove Recovery House for Women resident receives housing and programming free of charge. The organization estimates the true weekly cost of serving one client near $287, covered through grants and donors. That model determines who the organization can reach: women who could not otherwise afford structured recovery housing at all.

Level IV Certification Through INARR

Dove Recovery House for Women's Jasper location carries Level IV certification through the Indiana Affiliation of Recovery Residences, the state's NARR affiliate. Certification at that level describes housing with a high degree of clinical integration, consistent with an organization that runs its own treatment services.

Referrals and Applications Across Both Homes

Applications and referrals go through the organization directly. Reaching Dove Recovery House for Women's central intake means the organization can place a woman at whichever of its counties has capacity, drawing on roughly 150 monthly inquiries against a limited number of beds.

Recovery Housing for Women Across Central and Southwest Indiana

Indianapolis anchors the organization in Marion County, the state's population center, while the Jasper home extends the same model into Dubois County and the surrounding southwest Indiana communities. A woman leaving treatment in either part of the state is choosing between two homes built by the same organization, under the same certification and the same no-cost model.
