WHAT IT IS

After much success with Sober Men Living, its founders found there was a significant need for a safe, structured environment built on sisterhood, healing and recovery, for women in recovery. SWL is a community of that sisterhood overcoming addiction that uses a 12-step approach to find clarity and assistance in the progression toward independent living.

Sober Women Living is a transitional sober living program for women who desire comprehensive recovery support after primary treatment. Our homes are centrally located in lovely Kennesaw, GA and offer easy access to Kennesaw State University, Marietta, Atlanta and all the work and school opportunities in those locations.

JOB SEEKING

SWL is in a populated area with plenty of employment opportunities. Residents benefit from our close relationships with local staffing agencies and our assistance in resume building and interview skills. We also provide transportation to job interviews and to “pound the pavement.” Getting back into the workforce helps to foster self-sufficiency and build self-esteem. Positive self-worth leads to successful sobriety. Our goal is self-sufficiency.

RECOVERY COACHING

Our staff works with each resident to develop a personalized recovery plan, including weekly coaching sessions with the end goal of becoming a productive sober woman. We also provide assistance with 12-Step work alongside a professionally designed life skills program that covers such things as budgeting, decision-making and crisis intervention. The final step is the preparation of a personalized transition guide to set up the resident for a successful transition into the world after.
