Our Vision Statement Empowering Women through their Recovery The House Philosophy Sophrosyne means a “wise and balanced” life. The House of Sophrosyne believes women require unique, supportive programs provided in an all-female environment in order to initiate and sustain the process of recovery from substance dependency. Our programs, provided by women for women, utilize the most current methods, in an atmosphere specific to the needs of women. The House strives to facilitate the process of rebuilding physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually with self-esteem and self-concept as integral themes. Recognizing that addictions affect individuals, families and communities the House provides support programs to address all of these issues. Our Values We are women-centered in that everything we do is informed by the study and understanding of women’s unique needs and issues. We offer resources which foster empowerment for all of our clients by assisting them to recognize and develop the inner strengths and resources for living full, productive and balanced lives. We provide an individual approach to recovery from substance dependency in a safe and non-judgmental environment which facilitates personal development and growth. We are accessible in that we serve the diversity of women living in our community and we strive to reduce or eliminate barriers which may prevent them from accessing our services.
