Who The Sanctuary Serves

Women Recovering from Addiction

Women who have achieved initial sobriety and are seeking a structured, supportive environment to strengthen recovery and rebuild daily life. The Sanctuary provides accountability, community, and consistency during this important stage of healing.

Women Healing from Trauma and Life Disruption

Women whose lives have been impacted by trauma, addiction, loss, or significant life challenges and who are seeking stability, support, a fresh start. Healing is supported through structure, safety, and meaningful connection.

Women Rebuilding Stability and Self-Trust

Women who are ready to strengthen healthy routines, personal responsibility, and confidence in themselves. Through daily practice and supportive community, residents rebuild the foundations of a healthy, stable, and meaningful life.

What Makes The Sanctuary Different

At The Sanctuary, recovery is more than sobriety. We believe lasting change is created through consistent daily practices that rebuild trust, responsibility, dignity, connection, and meaningful daily life

Intentional environment

The Sanctuary is thoughtfully designed to create a peaceful, nurturing environment where women have space to reflect, reconnect with themselves, and practice new ways of living. The atmosphere of the home promotes a sense of security, calm, and meaningful connection.

Accountability with dignity

Women are encouraged to take ownership of their choices while being treated with respect, compassion, and grace. Accountability is viewed as a pathway to growth rather than punishment.

Recovery Centered Culture

The Sanctuary is a recovery-centered home where women share in creating a culture of honesty, compassion, accountability, and mutual respect. Through everyday interactions and shared experiences, women have opportunities to recognize old patterns, practice new choices, and grow alongside others committed to their own recovery.

Emotional Stability

Recovery often begins with creating safety within the nervous system. Daily practices, structure, and supportive community help women develop greater emotional awareness, regulation, and self-trust.

Rhythm and Stewardship

Consistent routines and shared responsibilities create stability, build confidence, and strengthen trust in oneself. Recovery is supported through daily participation in the life of the home.

Intimate and Personalized

With a home limited to six women, The Sanctuary offers an intimate setting where each resident can be known as an individual. Personal attention, meaningful relationships, and an understanding of each woman's unique journey create opportunities for deeper connection and growth.

Structured Support

Daily structure provides opportunities for women to strengthen the practical foundations of independent living. Through healthy routines, work, financial responsibility, recovery participation, and stewardship, women develop confidence, consistency, and trust in their ability to create and sustain a life of their choosing.

Meet Andrea Alexander

Founder of The Sanctuary Recovery Living.

I created The Sanctuary from the belief that recovery requires more than sobriety alone—women need a safe, structured environment to rebuild trust in themselves and develop healthy daily practices. My work combines lived recovery understanding, emotional stabilization, and accountability with dignity to help women rebuild meaningful lives after addiction and trauma.

My "Why"

After years of working in addiction recovery and coaching, I saw that many women desperately needed a bridge between treatment and independent living. The Sanctuary was created to provide that bridge through structure, community, and daily practice.

Many women arrive carrying beliefs shaped by pain and loss that have obscured their innate value. Through consistent participation in our supportive community, they begin to experience themselves differently—discovering that setbacks do not diminish their worth, mistakes are opportunities for learning, and growth unfolds through continued engagement.

At The Sanctuary, recovery is approached as a daily practice — a devotion to oneself that rebuilds security, trust, dignity, and meaningful connection.

The Meaning of Place: Foundation House

The Sanctuary’s first home is intentionally located to reflect the core values of the recovery journey.

Ponderosa Pines Community

The Ponderosa Pine symbolizes resilience, rootedness, and growth through adversity. Like the recovery journey, it reminds us that strength is often developed through life's challenges.

Ridge Top Drive

Ridge Top represents perspective. Recovery often begins when we are able to see ourselves, our experiences, and our possibilities through a new lens.

Foundation House

Lasting change begins with a strong foundation. Foundation House represents rebuilding trust, establishing new daily practices, and creating a stable base from which life can continue to grow.
