A Reprieve for Women opened in September of 2016 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and is modeled after The Reprieve in Opelika, Alabama, which was established in 2009. A Reprieve for Women continues the Reprieve’s tradition to provide a unique place in the recovering and spiritual community as the center for a solution to alcoholism and drug addiction. Our staff and volunteers are the epicenter of this community based program, and illustrate on a day to day basis the very spirit in which the fellowship of service to others thrives. The 12 Steps live and breathe in each of our residents, staff and volunteers as they strive to do the work that they have been called upon to perform.

A Reprieve for Women is a six-month program founded in three distinct but interwoven phases. In the first 90 days we concentrate on 12 Step Immersion and a therapeutic foundation. The first two phases are 9 weeks in length, the third is four weeks long and the last phase is two weeks in length. From beginning, to the program’s conclusion, the goal is to assist women to obtaining the skills and tools needed to live in recovery as productive members of a community where service to others is the focal point.

The most important thing to us at the end of the day is that we are a constant reflection of what we teach to our residents. With a staff, largely in recovery themselves, we share more life experiences with our residents than most programs.
