“Sally’s House” Recovery Home
Sally’s House was established to offer a safe, comfortable environment for women seeking to achieve and maintain recovery from addiction. The House is dedicated to assisting pregnant women as its first priority, with post partum women and their infants as second priority. The House is unique as the only residential facility in Brevard that allows women to keep their infants and older children with them as they complete program requirements. In addition, clients may stay in the House for up to two years if needed to be successful in their recovery.
Originally named Robin’s Nest, the house was rededicated as Sally’s House in honor of Sally Lloyd whose dedication and personal commitment were greatly responsible for the establishment of this program when very few, if any, treatment options existed for women. As a Women’s Intervention Specialist, Sally worked tirelessly to help women who felt stigmatized and even criminalized by the system.
Located in south Brevard, Sally’s House has fifteen beds and accepts women from anywhere in Brevard County. The women receive comprehensive services.
