TRIUMPH OVER SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER

Dove Recovery House is the largest recovery housing program for women in Marion and Dubois County and is certified as a Level IV Recovery Residence through Indiana Alliance for Recovery Residences. In Indianapolis, Dove House serves 40 women each night and more than 80 women annually. In Jasper, Indiana Dove House serves up to 15 women each night.

At Dove House, we serve the most vulnerable women in our community—women who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual abuse; women who have experienced homelessness; women who are struggling with substance use disorder and have nowhere else to turn.

What even further distinguishes Dove House is that all programming is offered free of charge to clients; it costs $300/week per client, but this cost is completely covered by grants, corporate supporters, and individual donors.

“Everything I’ve been missing in my life and that I’ve desired is in this house. Drugs gave me a false sense of family and being loved. There is a true sense of connection, love, and community at Dove House. It’s safe.” – Nikki, a alumna of Dove House
