Sober Living Home in Greenfield Open

GREENFIELD, Ind. - Oct. 12, 2018 - PRLog -- A sober living home in Greenfield, Indiana will soon open its doors to assist women with substance use disorders in Hancock County.

Talitha Koum Women's Recovery House has finished three years of renovations and will open the facility to patients next Monday.

The house director of Talitha Koum said that renovations were made because they wanted the women to feel like they mattered. She opened the addiction recovery facility in part due to her own daughter's problems with alcohol addiction and the lack of homes available for people to recover.

Talitha Koum literally translates to "little girl, rise up" in the bible. The sober living home offers an addiction recovery program for women over 18.

The staff will consist of recovery coaches who have been through the process of addiction recovery . The sober living home consists of four bedrooms that will accommodate up to 10 women. The facility will employ  a house manager and a residential assistant who will be available 24/7.

The sober living home will offer recovery and also allow women to learn certain life skills that will assist in setting them up after they complete their stay.

Preliminary data illustrated that there were 12 drug-related deaths in 2017 in Hancock County, according to the Indiana State Department of Health.

Funding for the sober living home came from donations, grants and sponsorships, some of which include Hancock Regional Hospital  and churches in the area. There were also contributions supplied by families of people who have been impacted by substance use disorders. An added $500,000 was donated to Talitha Koum by the city of Greenfield and $150,000 by Hancock County.
