Georgia’s Friends in Charlottesville is a beacon of hope for women battling drug and alcohol addiction. Their flagship initiative, Georgia’s House, provides a safe, therapeutic, structured home where women can find health, healing, and hope in their recovery journeys. Founded in 2015 and now celebrating their 10th anniversary, Georgia’s House has served up to eleven women at a time, offering comprehensive support in recovery and connecting with community resources such as safety, wellness, advocacy, legal assistance, and counseling services. Residents can stay for up to two years, allowing them the time needed to transition to a self-sustaining, addiction-free life.
The team at Georgia’s Friends has a deep understanding of the unique challenges women face in addiction and recovery. They are committed to inclusivity, striving to support a diverse community of women where they are in their personal recovery by referring them to local, specialized resources. The organization is driven by a dedicated team of staff, board members, and volunteers who work to provide a nurturing environment where women can rebuild. Georgia’s Friends invites those with expertise in addiction services, mental health, or women’s health to join their mission and support their transformative work through volunteering or donating.
