Pavillon, a private, nonprofit residential and outpatient drug and alcohol treatment center, announced today the opening of a new sober living and recovery residence for women on its Mill Spring campus. The new facility, the Cottage, is Pavillon’s first sober living residence for women.
Sober living is the transitional level of care that takes place after primary and extended care. It is an effective option for individuals who wish to reside in a stable environment that is conducive to maintaining a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle. Sober living is often the last step individuals take before returning to a society where they will work to maintain recovery, making it a critical step in the overall recovery process.
With Pavillon’s peer-to-peer program that strengthens and facilitates personal growth during early recovery, the Cottage rounds out the Pavillon continuum of services by forging a sober living experience with professional monitoring. The Cottage will also offer residents services such as community meetings and life enhancement groups.
“A safe sober living experience is a significant piece of the recovery journey,” said Anne Vance, Pavillon CEO. “As an addiction treatment facility, we are responsible for providing our patients with an environment where they can get the critical support they need before returning to their everyday lives. At Pavillon, we strive to do everything we can to set our patients up for future success. We are excited to be able to offer this important level of support to our patients with our newly established housing.”
