The Sanctuary Recovery Foundation

About The Sanctuary Recovery Foundation

The Sanctuary Recovery Foundation is a sober living operator in Charleston, South Carolina, running certified recovery homes for men in Charleston County. It is a nonprofit foundation, its residences are certified through the South Carolina Alliance for Recovery Residences, and it has been housing residents in the Lowcountry for more than a decade.

A Charleston Recovery Housing Provider

The organization supplies housing. Clinical care comes from providers elsewhere in the county. Residents keep their own therapists, prescribers and meetings, and what the foundation provides is a clean, well-kept house, housemates doing the same work, and rules that hold from one address to the next. Its stated priorities are cleanliness, safety and support, which sounds modest until you compare it against the unregulated rooming houses that operate in the same market.

Sober Homes in Charleston and Mount Pleasant

The foundation runs homes in two Lowcountry municipalities, Charleston and Mount Pleasant, on either side of the Cooper River. Both fall inside Charleston County, so a resident moving between them keeps the same meetings, the same providers and often the same employer. Mount Pleasant offers a quieter suburban setting; the Charleston side puts residents closer to the peninsula's jobs and transit.

What Certification Commits This Sober Living Operator To

Certification through the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences binds every certified residence to written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a code of ethics, a written relapse and discharge policy, and complaints reviewed outside the house. Certification is granted residence by residence, so an applicant should confirm the specific address.

Reaching This Charleston Sober Living Operator

Contact goes to the foundation, not to individual houses, and there is no online application. Useful operator-level questions: how long it has run recovery housing in Charleston, whether residents can move between its homes, how deposits are documented and returned, and how a grievance escalates past a house manager.
