Rebuilding Your Life at Eden Hill    

For many women with alcohol and substance use disorders, the tasks some people may label “simple” daily upkeep can prove exceptionally challenging—both in active addiction and continuing into sobriety. Encouraging the seemingly smallest tasks is the foundation for building self-esteem and fostering confidence, independence and discipline moving forward.

Residents are asked to make their beds every morning, perform their chores as required, and share responsibility for the upkeep of the house. To effectively build routines that can continue at home, each woman is responsible for arriving at all groups on time and abiding by all house rules.

Building Good Habits

Resuming day-to-day obligations like financial matters, correspondence with friends & family and personal & professional matters can be a healthy practice. At the glass table in the vestibule you will often find several women sitting in their “office” offering support to one another as they tackle these obligations that life demands. Residents take advantage of our high-speed wireless internet and laptop-friendly policy to take care of this business at home. We always monitor the amount of energy expended in these endeavors to ensure that women are not preoccupying themselves with matters outside of their recovery at the expense of their sobriety.

Learning how to balance the different aspects of being a sober adult can be difficult. Facing and addressing financial or work related topics can be difficult, so staff is always there to assist in any way possible. Assisting with step by step plans to complete goals, teaching budgeting techniques, helping to set personal boundaries, and other skill building assistance are just a few of the valuable tools staff is ready to offer our residents.
