Magdalene House of Charleston

About Magdalene House of Charleston

Magdalene House of Charleston is a certified women's recovery housing provider in Summerville, South Carolina, in Dorchester County, operating as a nonprofit, abstinence based residence for women in recovery including survivors of trafficking.

A Certified Nonprofit Recovery Housing Provider

Certification places the organization's housing under the state's recovery residence standards, and its nonprofit structure sits alongside that status. The organization also appears on the South Carolina Alliance for Recovery Residences registry, one of the references an applicant can check before applying.

An Abstinence Based Sober Living Operator

The organization is abstinence based and does not accept medication assisted treatment, a line worth settling early for anyone prescribed buprenorphine or methadone, since several other certified operators in the Charleston area accept all forms. A household built entirely around abstinence removes a running disagreement for a woman whose own recovery plan matches it.

Life Skills Across These Recovery Homes

Residents are given the chance to recover and to learn life skills in a safe environment, a service the organization builds into its recovery housing broadly.

What to Ask This Recovery Housing Provider

Since the address is not published, an applicant should ask directly how the abstinence based policy is enforced, what life skills programming looks like week to week, and how the nonprofit coordinates with the trafficking survivor services it names among its focus.
