At Susan’s House, our philosophy is to treat each member of the house with genuine respect, warmth, and care. After 
fulfilling their stay in the house, each individual graduates with the proper foundation required to live a life filled with harmony and self
 acceptance.

What makes Susan’s House stand out from any other sober living is simple: you are a part of the family as soon as you arrive. At Susan’s House you quickly become part of a sisterhood. It is through this woman-to-woman camaraderie that graduates of Susan’s House learn to live a life of integrity, grace and dignity as sober women in the world.

We limit residential enrollment to 4 women at a time. This highly individualized approach promotes the development of strong interpersonal relationships during the treatment process. These key relationships are instrumental in assuring and sustaining recovery success.

Members find immediate guidance for issues such as insomnia, anxiety, and pain. Susan’s extensive detox and psychiatric training makes this possible – without the dependency of drugs or alcohol.
