Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to come directly from treatment?
No. While many residents transition from residential treatment or an outpatient program, we also accept women from other recovery situations when appropriate.
Is therapy provided in the house?
No. metta Recovery Residences is not a treatment program. Residents are expected to maintain appropriate clinical care, whether through an outpatient therapist, IOP, PHP, or other providers when recommended.
How long can I stay?
Recovery looks different for everyone. We encourage residents to remain long enough to build a solid foundation for independent living.
Are medications allowed?
Yes. Prescribed medications are reviewed during the admissions process. We work with residents and treatment providers to ensure medications are used safely and appropriately.
Ready to Begin?
Recovery doesn't happen because life becomes easier.
It happens because we begin creating an environment that supports the life we want to build.
