Real House, Inc. — Real House Shelter Grove Street

The Real House Shelter Grove Street is a women’s shelter based in Montclair, New Jersey that operates as part of Real House, Inc. They provide emergency housing to women experiencing homelessness, as well as job training, coping skills development, and life planning. Women may also receive treatment for alcohol or drug addiction if necessary.

The shelter is a homey place, with cozy bedrooms, spacious kitchens, welcoming living rooms, and sociable dining rooms filling the home. They’ve created a safe and comforting environment that empowers these women to stand on their own feet and change their circumstances. This shelter is open 24/7 to ensure that anyone in need can get help as quickly as possible. They’re also conveniently situated near public transportation, shopping centers, laundromats, Social Security offices, and welfare offices.

As part of the substance use treatment program, you’ll attend individual counseling sessions, women’s group therapy, and relapse prevention sessions. Their goal is to help you stabilize and become self sufficient.

Real House, Inc. has a close partnership with Helms Medical Services, LLC. This allows them to also offer primary healthcare services. You have access to onsite medical examinations, comprehensive blood work services, podiatry and gynecology services, and medical assistance with substance use disorders.

When appropriate, your healthcare provider may prescribe Subucade, Vivitrol, or Suboxone to help you manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms as you adjust to life without substances. These medications are carefully monitored and don’t produce the “high” that illicit substances do, making them a safe and effective treatment for addiction. They also reduce the effects of illicit substances, reducing your desire to use.
