Minot Gets New Women-Only Sober Living Home

MINOT, N.D. - May 16, 2018 - PRLog -- The Sanctuary Sober Living for Women opened at the beginning of the month in Minot, North Dakota using the 12-step model to recovery.

Representatives of the Sanctuary have stated that the facility is the first one to offer recovery services to residents of Minot.

There are 11 trained managers at the sober living home and 14 women can be accommodated in a four-bedroom house. The representatives of the center stated that sharing rooms can prevent isolation.

The Sanctuary has numerous other congregational rooms for the assisting women who have gone through detoxification for a drug or an alcohol addiction but haven't returned to their homes or routines yet.

The specialists at the Sanctuary are currently in the process of reviewing other applications that have been submitted by potential residents but some residents have already moved in.

The Sanctuary accepts applications from any person who meets their requirements and is truly committed to achieving recovery.

The requirements of the sober living home include willingness to attend about 15 meetings every week across recovery programs and participate in random and unscheduled drug and alcohol tests.

Since the Sanctuary has a zero-tolerance drug use policy, any women whose tests results come out positive for drug use will be facing eviction.

The sober living home also requires residents to be enrolled in school or have at least a part-time job in addition to completing daily domestic chores.

The employees of the sober living home also require these women to sign in and out every time they enter or exit the premises and highlight that they will be closely monitored for compliance, which is intended to help the women learn to have a sense of accountability.

The Sanctuary is a self-funded organization that is currently charging residents a total of $500 a monthly and charitable accepting donations.

The women can refer themselves or be referred by an agency to live there and residents that have been charged with substance-related violations as part of alternative sentencing are also accepted.
