Gratitude House, Inc.

About Gratitude House
Gratitude House is a unique and innovative nonprofit organization redefining recovery aftercare for women. Our mission is to reduce the rate of relapse by providing a safe, supportive, and beautiful home for newly sober women who are committed to 12-step recovery. More than a sober-living home, we provide a holistic, structured, and accountability-driven environment where women rebuild their lives.
Our educational model integrates neuroscience, psychology, emotional intelligence, and the spiritual wisdom of the 12 Steps to help residents develop the skills, relationships, and habits necessary for lasting recovery. We believe recovery is not simply about staying sober. It is about learning a new way to live.
