Martha's House

About Martha's House

Martha's House is a women's sober living operator in Georgetown, South Carolina, the seat of Georgetown County.

A Sober Living Operator on a State Housing List

The organization appears on the female sober living list published by the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, one of the resources that agency directs women toward statewide.

Recovery Housing on the Waccamaw Neck

Georgetown County sits between Charleston and Myrtle Beach on the coast and has almost no recovery housing of its own. A woman from Georgetown, Andrews or Pawleys Island looking for a bed has generally had to travel an hour in either direction, leaving her family, her job and her probation officer behind. A house in the county seat removes that trade.

What Georgetown's Economy Establishes for Sober Homes

Georgetown holds the county courthouse, Tidelands Georgetown Memorial Hospital and the historic waterfront, with a port and tourism economy running along the Waccamaw River. A women's recovery home placed here puts residents within reach of local employment and services close by.

What to Ask This Sober Living Operator

Since the address is not published and placement runs through the operator, an applicant should ask how referrals reach Martha's House from across the county, and what support exists once a woman arrives.
