Our Approach

The Reprieve model encourages healthy community, fellowship, and internal change.

A Reprieve for Women strives to create a spiritually sound environment that is positive, creative, caring, and fun. We believe that recovery can only be accomplished through developing positive relationships. We also believe that the living environment must be attended to in order to inspire our residents and staff to grow together in our quest for spiritual health.

Our intent for each individual is to have them create a plan of action that can be developed, improved, and that focuses on three relational areas: spirituality, community, and self. We strive to help residents understand how they separated from self, from spirituality, and from their community. Then we help them develop their personal plan for healthy relations to self, spirituality, and others. This is accomplished through intensive personal work in the Twelve Step discipline, and therapeutic support.

A Story of Hope

“I know I am sober because at a time when I needed a message of hope a woman was placed in my life to deliver that message of hope. That woman’s energy, joy, and laughter was what drew me in. I wouldn’t have cared if she had 30 days or 30 years of sobriety, I wanted whatever it was that she had. I wanted to hear the message and story that she had to tell. When she sat down with me to share her experience she was sharing my experience. She felt what I had felt. She had done what I had done. I knew I was not alone and I knew I could have what she had. When I walk through the doors of A Reprieve for Women, I feel the same loving and caring spirit and I can tell these women are genuine in their passion for recovery.”

“I was looking for a place that went beyond just addiction. A place that helped me sort through trauma and bad habits and behaviors. I was looking for a place that could teach me how to live and function as a productive member of society. A Reprieve did that for me!”
“All the fun activities, the pool, theater and the community as a whole. I wish y’all could put a picture of all the girls up that are there now and the ones that have graduated.”
“Success rate, staff, schedule and flexibility for family/children visits, visual presentation/amenities. I also know that the “packing list” was important to several of the previous residents. I also believe that the sense of community that is special at A Reprieve would be great to represent. Hard work with some fun, community, love and support ”
“Super grateful! At first because my parents said I couldn’t come home. But then I realized how important the community of women were to my recovery, and the sheer length of time needed to lift my obsession, you know how difficult I am haha. Once I shut up and listened to someone else I finally got some peace.”
