Dove Recovery House for Women

Dove Recovery House for Women is Indiana’s leading provider of women-centered addiction treatment and recovery, serving as the largest recovery housing program for women in Marion and Dubois counties since 2000, with a third location planned for Bartholomew County in 2026. Dove House empowers women to become substance-free, self-sufficient, and healthy by providing free, safe housing, quality programming, and hope for the future to those struggling with substance use disorder, many of whom have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual abuse as well as homelessness. As a certified Level IV Recovery Residence through the Indiana Alliance for Recovery Residences, it serves over 100 women annually at no cost, funded by grants, corporate supporters, and individual donors, with an average weekly cost of $280 per client fully covered. The organization offers comprehensive, trauma-informed services in a residential setting, including phased programming such as Stages of Change for self-discovery and coping skills, Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for understanding addiction and building communication skills, and Seeking Safety for addressing trauma and PTSD; additional recovery programming encompasses peer recovery and case management, NA/HA/AA meetings, life skills and coaching, relapse prevention, individual therapy, parenting classes, employment and work development, nutritious meals, family reunification, and optional faith-based activities. With a compassionate team of experienced staff and a dedicated board, Dove House focuses on long-term recovery, achieving a 78% success rate in program completion, and supports women through transitional housing proven to enhance sobriety, reduce recidivism, and promote family reunification.
