After leaving a detox or treatment center, many women return to the same environment that contributed to their substance use disorder. This is the most vulnerable time for relapse.
In the Meantime, we provide a safe, substance-free certified recovery residence to help women begin their long-term recovery journey with confidence.
All women on a successful recovery journey have a story about the community that supported them along the way. We believe that a supportive, empowering community is as much a necessity as a roof over their heads and a bed to sleep in, because no one recovers alone.
Substance use disorder transcends race, socioeconomic status, and age, but always leads to the same place of self-pity, guilt, shame, and remorse. To believe that anyone can overcome it, we must first accept that anyone can fall victim to it. We welcome all ages 25+, ethnicities, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
Our residence is just a stop on your journey. The name serves as a reminder that nothing is permanent when struggling with substance use disorder. However, we believe that recovery is a lifelong process. We aren’t just removing certain substances, we are reigniting passions, rebuilding identities, and growing.
The people closest to us are also deeply affected by substance use. Their suffering doesn’t end when our road to recovery begins. During the recovery journey, we prioritize making our families whole again, because recovery doesn’t affect just one person.
Regaining trust—from our families and in ourselves—is one of the biggest challenges on the road to recovery. To build trust, we must have honesty. And to have honesty, we have to be vulnerable. We want to instill the same trustworthiness in our residents that we strive for as an organization.
While a resident at In The Meantime, we work, volunteer, and study so we can become contributing members of society, but also rebuild pride and sense of identity. Residents are accountable for their growth, just as we are accountable to the donors who support our organization.
Our goal is to give women a safe-substance free environment that helps them break free from the cycle that contributed to their substance use in the first place. But to turn our house into a community, we need volunteers like you to make a true impact.
