ABOUT BEACON SOBER LIVING RECOVERY RESIDENCE FOR WOMEN

Residents are encouraged to continue their spiritual growth by addressing issues that inhibit long-term recovery. Our primary goal is to help women discover a meaningful life free of substances and destructive behaviors.
Recovery Support
Our mission is to make recovery attainable by aligning services with an individuals needs. We can help you navigate the complicated process of choosing treatment options for recovery from drugs, alcohol, and other addictions. With nearly two decades of experience, we offer comprehensive care, guidance, and various levels of support from the very first phone to call to graduation of our program and beyond.
OUR MISSION
The substance abuse industry is inundated with an overwhelming number of options for treatment, not all of which may be viable for cultivating long-term sobriety. Deciphering which path to take can seem like an impossible task, but with nearly two decades of experience, Beacon Sober Living staff are available to help navigate what may work best for you or your loved one.
We are founded on the idea that recovery doesn’t have to be a one-size fits-all model. Every person seeking to live a life free of substances will be presented with a plan that makes their recovery possible and sustainable.

OUR SOBER LIVING recovery APPROACH
At Beacon Sober Living, we believe that the 12-Step sober living model provides the most effective recovery from addiction. It is our mission to offer the ongoing support needed to residents who desire to practice the 12-Steps in their daily lives. Learning to “live in the steps” can be a challenging process and we will be there to guide them along the way.
As important as the 12-steps, so is additional support. Over time, and with experience, we have developed relationships with various mental health providers and holistic practitioners that are qualified to work with individuals in recovery. We are able to provide referrals and ongoing support to our residents.
CONDUCT WORK
A unique feature of Beacon is the availability of help in the area of 12-Step conduct work. After drugs and alcohol are removed, harmful and obsessive-compulsive behaviors often arise, acting as a barrier to spiritual connection and growth. Conduct work focuses primarily on clearing away anything that blocks us from maintaining sobriety. Examples of these challenges include intimacy, exercise, body image, eating disorders, shopping, and gambling.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
We live by the philosophy that being helpful and useful is the greatest form of personal enrichment. Residents of Beacon Sober Living actively engage with the community at large. Through regular volunteer work, 12-Step commitments and fellowship, residents will become strong members of the community in which they live.
FAMILY SUPPORT
Family support is an important aspect of an individual’s recovery. Relationships in the family often suffer as a result of addiction, and healing them takes time and effort. We are available to provide guidance with a resident’s family during their stay.
ON-SITE HOUSE MANAGERS
Beacon Sober Living is owned and managed by individuals with nearly two decades of combined experience in long-term recovery. It is our belief that there is benefit in having dedicated on-site House Managers who are engaged, working a 12-Step program, and involved with our residents on a regular basis.
