Atlanta Mission – My Sister’s House

Atlanta Mission – My Sister’s House is a substance use disorder recovery and homeless shelter for women and children in the Atlanta, Georgia area. This is a Christian facility that helps you in all areas of your life.

This facility is first and foremost a homeless center that assists women and women with children who have no place to go or who need additional counseling. If you are seeking addiction recovery, they require that you be drug free for at least 72 hours before entering and alcohol free for at least 24 hours. Once you are admitted here, you can only leave on free time or after showing a work schedule or doctor’s appointment confirmation.

While here, you are responsible to help with chores, attend group classes for two hours a day and meet with social services to set up counseling. Your counseling sessions will help you get to the root causes of your addiction and life challenges. You have a curfew time to be in your room.

If your needs are greater than what they can help with, you may be referred to another agency to help you. If inpatient detox is required, you will be referred to another program.

They want to help you spiritually to find a relationship with God. They believe that through that relationship, He can help you improve your life. They have daily devotionals and Bible classes, along with chapel, Bible studies, spiritual formation classes and small groups.

This center is supported by donations and volunteers. Most of the cleaning is done by you and the others who are staying there. You may also have community assignments. This center wants to help you become a part of the community and learn of the resources that can help you and help you give back to the community that is supporting your recovery.
