Empowering Women in Recovery with Structure, Purpose and Support

At Makeda, we believe sober living is more than just a place to stay sober, it’s an essential step in the healing journey, where women rediscover themselves, rebuild their lives with purpose and step confidently into a new chapter. Our home provides a safe, supportive and empowering environment designed specifically for women who are ready to live free from substance abuse and step into their fullest potential.

Sober living is a vital bridge between treatment and independent life. It offers stability, accountability, and community at a time when women are learning to live differently without substances - but with clarity, skills, connection, and intention. For many, it’s in this stage that true transformation begins. By replacing the chaos of substance abuse with structure, community, and personal responsibility, our residents are able to heal on a deeper level and begin creating the lives they truly want.

What sets us apart is our empowered, life skill-focused approach. We don’t just support women in staying sober - we help them grow into confident, capable individuals who are ready to thrive. Each woman is supported in developing essential life skills like budgeting, cooking, self care, time management, effective communication, problem solving and future planning. All while also being supported through emotional and spiritual healing that deepens self-awareness and self-worth. Empowerment is central to everything we do; we help our residents build confidence, set healthy boundaries, and step into leadership in their own lives.

Our daily structure is thoughtfully designed to provide rhythm, consistency, and purpose. Mornings begin with mindfulness practices, mediation, movement and setting goal focused intentions for the day. Throughout the day, residents participate in household responsibilities, attend recovery-related daily commitments such as outpatient programs or work/school and engage in regular check-ins and community support. Evenings are centered around 12-step meetings, meaningful social engagements, and grounding routines, creating a peaceful end to each day. This structure fosters accountability and lifelong wellness, while still allowing space for personal freedoms and growth.

At the heart of our home is a strong sense of sisterhood. Recovery isn’t meant to be done alone and here, it doesn’t have to be. Our community is built on compassion, honesty and shared growth. The women in our home support one another through challenges, celebrate each other’s wins and walk side by side through every stage of the journey. It’s this deep connection and authentic support, that transforms recovery from a struggle into a shared triumph.

At Makeda, we’re not just helping women stay sober, we’re helping them reclaim their lives. We invite you to join us in building something beautiful, strong and lasting.
