A HOME OF
LOVE AND RECOVERY

The Rose Home is a place of hope and healing. Our desired number of residents is eight. In order to achieve the greatest good, we are very selective about the women we admit to our home and our application process is designed to work with our program. We choose women who have a true desire for change in their lives and are willing to work hard to achieve it through a Christian-based four-level recovery program. Candidates must be physically, mentally, and emotionally stable to be admitted. You must complete an application. You may obtain an application in several different ways. You may call the staff at The Rose Home and request an application to be e-mailed or mailed to you.. We also request that you write a detailed letter describing yourself, your history, and your desire for treatment. Please provide us with a telephone number where you can be reached, or a reliable message phone number. You may return the application and your letter to us by mail or e-mail. After we have received your application, the director will review your information and contact you for an interview and a tour of the house. Please understand that the application process may take up to a week or more. If our beds are full, you may be placed on a waiting list. Consideration for beds is chosen by equal opportunity, and no one referral source has priority. Email Rosehomerecovery@aol.com

 The mission of The Rose Home is to provide a structured, Christian atmosphere in which a drug- and alcohol-addicted woman can be guided through a holistic approach to recovery.

A Sanctuary of Healing and Sisterhood

Our home offers more than just a roof and a bed—it’s a place of healing. Here, women find peace, accountability, and a sisterhood that lifts them when life feels heavy. We provide 10 beds in a comfortable, structured environment where every woman has space to grow.

Our Program

Our Program
Recovery, Structure & Support
At The Rose Home, we believe lasting recovery is built one day at a time through structure, accountability, faith, and community.
The Rose Home is a women’s recovery residence, not a treatment facility. Our program provides a safe, structured, and supportive living environment where women can strengthen their recovery, develop healthy routines, practice personal responsibility, and prepare for independent living.
 
Structured Recovery Living
Structure and consistency are important parts of The Rose Home program.
Residents participate in a four-level recovery program designed to allow for increased independence as they demonstrate responsibility and progress in their recovery.
Daily life at The Rose Home includes:
 

  • Morning devotions

  • Daily accountability

  • Household responsibilities and chores

  • Regular case management

  • Recovery meeting requirements

  • Curfews and house guidelines

  • Employment expectations

  • Personal responsibility and accountability
     

As residents progress through the levels, they are given additional privileges and opportunities for independence while continuing to remain accountable to the expectations of the program.
 
Recovery & Accountability
Recovery requires more than simply having a safe place to live. Residents are expected to actively participate in their own recovery and begin building a support system that can continue after they leave The Rose Home.
During their time in the program, residents are expected and encouraged to:
 

  • Attend recovery meetings regularly

  • Develop and maintain a relationship with a sponsor

  • Work on personal recovery goals

  • Develop healthy coping skills

  • Practice honesty and accountability

  • Build healthy relationships with others

  • Become involved in the recovery community

  • Take responsibility for their choices and actions
     

The goal is for each resident to develop a strong recovery foundation that she can continue building upon after leaving The Rose Home.
 
Case Management & Personal Goals
Residents meet regularly with staff for case management.
These meetings provide an opportunity to discuss how things are going,
identify challenges, recognize progress, and determine what the resident needs to work on moving forward.
Depending on the individual resident, case management may include discussions about:
 

  • Personal and recovery goals

  • Employment

  • Budgeting and financial responsibility

  • Recovery accountability

  • Court or probation requirements when applicable

  • Relationships and communication

  • Problem-solving and decision-making

  • Housing and plans for the future
     

Case management is focused on accountability, encouragement, and helping residents take the necessary steps toward their individual goals.
 
Employment & Financial Responsibility
Employment is an important part of The Rose Home program and preparing for independence.
Residents who are able to work are expected to work toward obtaining and maintaining appropriate employment.
Throughout the program, residents are encouraged to:
 

  • Maintain reliable employment

  • Arrive at work on time and follow their work schedule

  • Manage their income responsibly

  • Meet their financial obligations

  • Budget for their needs

  • Save when possible

  • Prepare financially for independent living
     

Staff may provide guidance, encouragement, and assistance with employment-related needs when appropriate,
but residents are expected to take responsibility for their own employment and financial decisions.
 
Life Skills & Independent Living
Recovery is about more than staying sober. It is also about learning how to manage everyday responsibilities.
Life at The Rose Home gives residents opportunities to practice important life skills as part of their normal daily responsibilities.
These include:

  • Budgeting and managing money responsibly

  • Time management and keeping a schedule

  • Meal planning and cooking

  • Cleaning and caring for their living space

  • Completing assigned household responsibilities

  • Healthy communication and problem-solving

  • Respecting shared spaces

  • Learning to live cooperatively with others

  • Following through on commitments

  • Taking responsibility for personal choices and actions
     

These everyday experiences help residents develop healthy habits and greater confidence as they prepare for independent living.
 
Healthy Living & Personal Responsibility
Residents are encouraged to take responsibility for their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
The Rose Home promotes healthy living through structure, consistent daily routines,
personal accountability, and medication procedures in accordance with house policy.
Residents are responsible for working with appropriate outside providers when medical,
mental health, substance use disorder treatment, or other professional care is needed.
The Rose Home is a recovery residence and is not a treatment facility.
The Rose Home does not provide medical, psychiatric, clinical,
or substance use disorder treatment.
Residents who need these services are encouraged
to work with appropriate outside providers and community resources.

 
Faith & Community
Faith is an important part of The Rose Home program.
We welcome women from different backgrounds while encouraging spiritual growth through daily devotions,
prayer, and values such as grace, honesty, forgiveness, compassion, hope, and service.
Residents are encouraged to build healthy support systems, become involved in the recovery community,
and participate in volunteer or service opportunities when appropriate.
Giving back, supporting others, and becoming part of a healthy community
can be important parts of building a new life in recovery.
 
Preparing for the Future
From the beginning of the program, residents are encouraged to think about what they want their lives to look like after The Rose Home.
As they progress through the program, residents work toward goals that may include:

  • Maintaining their recovery

  • Stable employment

  • Financial responsibility

  • Safe and stable housing

  • Healthy relationships and support systems

  • Personal accountability

  • Continued involvement in the recovery community

  • Greater independence
     

Every resident’s path may look different. Our role is to provide structure, accountability, encouragement, and a supportive recovery environment while each woman does the work necessary to build her own future.
 
A Place to Rebuild
The Rose Home is more than a place to stay.
It is a structured recovery environment where women are expected to participate in their recovery,
take responsibility for their lives, support one another, and work toward becoming more independent.
We believe in accountability,
but we also believe in grace, second chances, and the ability of women in recovery to build meaningful lives.
One day at a time,
The Rose Home offers women a place to grow, rebuild, and move forward with hope, purpose, and a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
