Truly Motivated Transitional Living

About Truly Motivated Transitional Living

Truly Motivated Transitional Living is a sober living operator based in Yelm, Washington, running certified recovery housing in Thurston County. The nonprofit describes its work as building a community of health, hope and wholeness, and it houses men and women separately across several recovery homes just east of Rainier.

A Yelm Recovery Housing Provider

Truly Motivated Transitional Living combines housing with structured programming and residents do not manage recovery alone. On-site 12-step and faith-based meetings, weekly Genesis Process groups, and mentor-led coaching in budgeting, conflict resolution and job-search skills run alongside the housing itself, and the organization refers residents out to counseling when clinical care is needed.

Recovery Homes in Thurston County

Three of the operator's Washington houses are certified through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences:

• Promise House, in Yelm.
• Restoration House, a women's residence in Yelm.
• Foundation House, a men's residence in Yelm.

All three sit in the same Yelm service area, which keeps residents inside the same mentor network and meeting schedule whether they are assigned to Promise, Restoration or Foundation House.

Serving Men and Women Separately

Foundation House houses men and Restoration House houses women, and the operator keeps its recovery homes organized this way across the portfolio, not mixing genders inside one building. That separation lets house rules, meetings and shared space be written for one population at each address.

WAQRR Certification Across the Portfolio

Certification through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences, Washington's NARR affiliate, is voluntary in this state, so an operator that has certified multiple houses has taken on a published code of ethics and outside complaint review by choice, not by mandate. Truly Motivated Transitional Living has done so for each of its three listed Yelm houses.

One Organization, Several Sober Houses Near Rainier

Applications for any of the three houses go through Truly Motivated Transitional Living directly. A resident who needs a different set of housemates, or a move between the men's and women's sides of the program, works that out with staff who already know the case.

Recovery Housing for Southern Thurston County

Yelm sits at the southern edge of Thurston County, and Truly Motivated Transitional Living's location there puts residents within reach of Olympia, the county seat and state capital, for court dates, outpatient appointments and state services, while keeping day-to-day life in a smaller, quieter town.
