Grace Haven helps connect residents to local employment opportunities, public transportation, and community resources. We also assist with job readiness, budgeting, and life planning when needed.

Question 9: Is Grace Haven licensed or affiliated with treatment centers?

Grace Haven is a sober living community, not a medical treatment facility. However, we partner with local recovery centers, counselors, and support networks to help residents maintain long-term sobriety.

Visitors are allowed within designated hours and must respect house policies. Overnight guests are typically not permitted to protect the recovery environment.

Bring personal items, bedding, toiletries, and clothing. Large furniture and pets are typically not permitted unless discussed in advance.

Grace Haven has a zero-tolerance policy for substance use on the property. Residents who relapse are compassionately supported in finding immediate help or treatment before they can reapply.
