In 1964, "Robbie" Robinson, a local businessman and philanthropist, made it possible for The Women's Home to move to, and later purchase, a small Cape Cod style house in Arlington, where it remained for the next 21 years. Abandoned and in poor shape, the house was repaired and soon housed four residents and a resident manager. With this new-found resource, residents recognize where they are at risk of relapsing and maintain the motivation to change their behavior.įounded in 1963, The Home was a small, clapboard residence near the railroad tracks on Duke Street in Alexandria, Virginia.
Residents align themselves with successful women in the recovery community, who have sustained long-term sobriety.
We are based on a strategy of accountability to structure, accepting guidance from staff and cultivating healthy relationships with women, learning to ask for and accept help.

Residents learn tools to stay sober and how to “live life on life’s terms.” It is one of the few such programs licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia. By accepting boundaries and personal responsibility, residents put in place new attitudes and new ways of living, transforming their liabilities into assets. The Women’s Home addresses the special needs of women, with a focus on lifestyle changes. We serve women- daughters, sisters, wives and mothers-who need structure and professional support in early recovery to build a solid basis for sustained sobriety.
