Sarah’s House

Sarah’s House aims to provide a safe and sober environment for those who are recovering from addiction while helping to transition into the community. Our goal is to provide each participant the opportunity for personal growth, by addressing each participant’s recovery needs and helping to promote healthy community interactions.

Other Considerations:

Participants that are in residential treatment and have identified that they have no home can apply for Housing Support through their county. Residents would need to complete the Combined Application Form and a qualified medical personnel would need to complete the Professional Statement of Need for that resident. Prior to treatment, that information is sent to the county (most recently lived in). No financial information required.
