Our mission is to reduce the rate of relapse by providing a safe, supportive, and beautiful sober-living home alongside an educational program for women who are committed to 12-step recovery. As a sober living home, it offers a serene, beautiful space for women to rebuild their lives free from addiction. Studies show that the relapse rate is high when addicts return to the environments they were living in before getting help. Gratitude House serves as a critical foundation for long-term sobriety. Grounded in the principles of the 12-step program, Gratitude House fosters a spiritual journey centered on service, gratitude, and personal growth. The home provides a stable, nurturing environment where residents can focus on recovery, participate in fellowship, and gain the tools necessary for independent living. Opened in the spring of 2024, Gratitude House is nestled in a peaceful suburban neighborhood on a one acre lot and can accommodate up to eight women. Residents must have 30 days of sobriety before moving in, and they are expected to maintain their recovery through active participation in the 12-step program. They must:
- Stay sober
- Attend daily 12-step meetings and work with a sponsor
- Work or attend school for at least 20 hours a week
- Contribute positively to the household
- Be an ambassador for Gratitude House, helping to serve others
Rent is $125 per week and includes room and utilities, with coffee and snacks always available. Residents can purchase their own groceries and prepare meals in the shared kitchen. Gratitude House stands out as the only sober living home for women in St. Louis County. It is more than a place to stay—it offers a comprehensive approach to recovery, combining structure with compassion. The home features a live-in house manager, a woman with decades of sobriety, who provides constant support. Additionally, two ADORABLE therapy dogs bring comfort and emotional stability to the women living in the house. You are not alone, and we are here to help.
