Set on a peaceful Connecticut estate, The Lighthouse, an 8-bed recovery residence is a place where women can practice sobriety with confidence. Instead of feeling isolated after rehab, residents step into a community filled with personalized recovery coaching, fellowship, and daily guidance designed to meet each person where they are.

Feel Grounded and Confident while Strengthening Sobriety

From the moment women walk in, they’re joining a community built on support and shared purpose. Recovery coaches and case managers walk alongside residents, helping them navigate work, appointments, and everyday challenges while rebuilding at their own pace with support that fits real life. With meetings held right in the home and connection built into the daily rhythm of the house, recovery becomes part of everyday living.

Come Home to Ease and Support

The Lighthouse’s estate feels calm and easy to settle into. There’s a pool for decompressing and quiet spots for women to clear their heads. Food is part of the care; a private chef makes dinner every night, groceries and snacks are always stocked, and some nights, the community orders takeout. Add in rides to external meetings and appointments, a YMCA membership, even a dedicated workspace, and the day-to-day stress drops.

Testimonial
I recommend The Lighthouse to anyone I can. The new sober living residence for women is AMAZING & beautiful. Newly furnished with all the amenities - including a tennis court & swimming pool. Back in the day when I was getting sober, I’d have gone to the women’s sober house in a heartbeat. It’s hard to find upscale sober living for women - and this is it! I eagerly visit the women when I can and love the program.

Instead of trying to figure life out alone, Lighthouse offers extra support like companion care, recovery coaching, and case management to steady the ground.
