why choose kay's place?
At Kay's Place Sober Living, we understand that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey, especially for women. Many women in recovery face unique personal, emotional, and societal challenges that require specialized support and care.
Kay's Place is more than just a sober home - it's a place where women can focus on their healing, rebuild self-worth, develop independence, and prepare for a fulfilling substance-free future. We provide a structured, women-centered environment where residents are supported through peer accountability, emotional healing, and practical life skills development.
Women's-Only Sober Living in New Hampshire
Women often have different recovery needs than men, and gender-specific sober living allows for a safe, supportive, and understanding environment where women can heal without external pressures, distractions, or fear of judgment.
At Kay's Place, we recognize that many women in recovery have:
- Experienced trauma, domestic violence, or unsafe relationships
- Struggled with low self-esteem and self-worth
- Faced societal or family pressures that hinder their sobriety
- Encountered barriers to employment or financial independence
By offering a sober home tailored specifically for women, we create a space where residents can focus on self-care, growth, and emotional healing in an empowering and understanding community.
Women-Centered Approach to Recovery
At Kay's Place, we foster an environment that is tailored specifically to women in recovery, addressing challenges such as:
- Overcoming past trauma and rebuilding self-worth
- Developing healthy relationships and setting boundaries
- Balancing sobriety with parenting and family responsibilities
- Addressing co-occurring mental health issues like anxiety and PTSD
A women-centered sober home helps residents feel comfortable, understood, and empowered to share openly, building lasting relationships with other women who have walked similar paths.
Unlike co-ed environments, which can sometimes distract from personal healing, a women-only space allows for deeper emotional work and stronger peer bonds.
Structured Environment for Stability
Many women in recovery thrive in a structured setting where they are held accountable while also being supported in personal growth.
- Daily routines and curfews to establish stability and consistency
- House responsibilities and peer accountability to build discipline
- Regular check-ins and mentorship to ensure emotional and mental well-being.
By providing structure, rather than complete freedom, we help residents ease into independent living while maintaining accountability and focus on their sobriety.
Community Support & Sisterhood
Women in addiction recovery often struggle with feelings of isolation and disconnection. At Kay's Place, we foster a strong, supportive community where women can:
- Build lasting friendships with other women in recovery
- Encourage and mentor each other through challenges
- Hold each other accountable to recovery goals
- Learn how to create healthy, supportive relationships
Our house operates like a sisterhood, where women uplift one another, celebrate victories, and provide a sense of belonging that many have lost due to addiction. This sense of community is crucial for maintaining long-term sobriety, as it replaces unhealthy relationships and negative influences with positive, recovery-focused connections.
Holistic Healing: Mind, Body, and Spirit
Recovery is about more than just stopping substance use - it's about healing the entire person. At Kay's Place, we encourage a holistic approach to recovery, helping women find mental, physical, and emotional well-being through:
- Mental Health & Emotional Support: Encouraging therapy, self-reflection, and emotional regulation
- Physical Wellness: Promoting nutrition, exercise, and self-care routines
- Spiritual Growth: Helping residents explore mindfulness, meditation, or faith-based practices (optional)
We encourage residents to find healthy coping mechanisms, whether it's through yoga, journaling, volunteering, creative outlets, or exercise - helping them develop habits that promote a sustainable, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyle.
Mental Health & Co-Occurring Disorders
A large percentage of women in recovery struggle with co-occurring mental health disorders, such as:
- Anxiety & Panic Disorders
- Depression & Mood Disorders
- PTSD & Trauma-Related Conditions
- Bipolar Disorder
At Kay's Place, we help women:
- Continue therapy and medication management if needed
- Create self-care routines to manage stress and triggers
- Develop coping skills that support both mental health and sobriety
- Engage in recovery programs that address both addiction and mental wellness
WE believe that mental health and addiction recovery go hand in hand - so we work to ensure that our residents are supported in both area.
Balancing Recovery with Motherhood & Family Responsibilities
For women in recovery, parenting and family obligations can add additional stress to the journey. Many women struggle with:
- Guilt from past substance use affecting their children or family
- Navigating co-parenting and family relationships in sobriety
- Balancing recovery commitments with family responsibilities
At Kay's Place, we:
- Encourage family therapy and communication support
- Help women learn time management strategies to balance recovery and personal obligations
- Provide guidance on regaining trust and repairing relationships
We want our residents to leave Kay's Place with not only strong recovery skills but also stronger family connections.
Relationship, Codependency & Self-Worth Challenges
Addiction often affects self-esteem and personal relationships, leading to:
- Unhealthy attachments and codependency
- Struggles with setting personal boundaries
- Fear or being alone or rejection
At Kay's Place, we work with residents to:
- Develop a strong sense of independence and self-worth
- Learn how to create healthy, supportive connections
We help women understand that they are worthy of love, respect, and happiness - without needing substances or unhealthy relationships.
Our Home Provides:
- A drug- and alcohol-free environment for stability and success
- A structure daily routine with curfews, responsibilities, and personal growth opportunities
- A strong peer community of women who understand the challenges of recovery
- A safe, supportive transition from rehab to independent living
Recovery is a journey, but you don't have to walk it alone. Let Kay's Place be your home as you take your next steps toward lasting sobriety.
