A safe refuge for those ready to begin the process of rebuilding back their lives

Men’s & Women’s Recovery Support Homes

Our mission is to provide a place of hope, healing, and community where individuals can recover, reconnect, and rebuild their lives on the Qualla Boundary.

The Men’s and Women’s Recovery Support Homes are essential components of the Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority’s Recovery Continuum of Care, providing safe and supportive environments for individuals rebuilding their lives from addiction and mental health challenges.

Women’s Recovery Support Home

Located where the old Cherokee Children’s Home once stood, this beautiful facility offers a refuge for women and their children. Designed to help women overcome addiction and mental health disorders, this home fosters a compassionate and supportive space where residents can heal, regain independence, and reconnect with their families. The program focuses on strengthening the bond between mothers and their children, developing life skills, and breaking the stigma surrounding recovery.

Men’s Recovery Support Home

Opened in June 2023, the Men’s Home is located at 197 Children’s Home Loop in the Yellowhill Community. This 4,000-square-foot facility accommodates up to eight men, with two spaces available for fathers with children up to 8 years old. The Men’s Home is designed for residents to stay for 6 to 12 months, providing the time and support needed to transition successfully back into their communities. This program is a testament to the belief that there is “Hope in Recovery,” offering men a structured path toward independence and healing.
