Georgia’s House
Georgia’s House, the signature initiative of Georgia’s Friends, opened in 2015 to provide a home for women to live in community and find health, healing, and hope in their recovery journeys. We serve up to eleven women on a full time basis in our structured recovery program and provide our residents with referrals and access to safety, wellness, advocacy, legal support, and counseling services. Residents may stay at Georgia’s House for up to two years as they transition to a self-sustaining and addiction-free life.
Since our founding, we have provided more than 32,000 safe bed nights to women fighting addiction.
Georgia’s Friends
Georgia’s Friends encompasses an engaged network of donors, volunteers, civic leaders, and health and human services experts who strive to deliver hope and healing to women in recovery in Charlottesville. You can help by donating, volunteering, or sharing our message.

“Georgia’s House saved my life. After spending time in jail and getting sober, I rebuilt my life with the support and solace provided by Georgia’s Friends. I was a resident for 11 months and now I have a job, am enrolled in school and live independently.” ~ A Georgia’s House Graduate
We are a proud, accredited member of the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR).
Georgia’s House is Charlottesville’s only VARR-accredited recovery residence that supports women.
