Gratitude House
A unique and elevated sober-living program for women in St. Louis County Missouri. Gratitude House is redefining aftercare through professional staffing, neuroscience-informed education, and a beautiful home for women committed to 12-step recovery.
Our Philosophy
More than a bed, a rent check and a drug test, Gratitude House offers a holistic program grounded in neuroscience, 12-steps, spiritual growth, accountability, and love. We believe that:
- Addiction is both a brain disease and a learning disorder.
- Recovery is not just abstinence, it is a learning process.
- Relationships are the foundation for both recovery and learning.
- Environment has a profound impact on the nervous system and a person’s ability to heal.
- High expectations must be balanced with high levels of support.
- Every woman can build a life beyond their dreams if they are willing to go to any lengths.
A grateful heart will never drink.

The Hands that Hold the House
Backed by a strong all-female board and an Executive Director with extensive experience, Gratitude House is staffed by professionals with long-term sobriety themselves.
The recovery community in St. Louis is strong and nationally known for its service, unity, generosity, and thousands of meetings per week.
We surround our residents with a network of female leaders, professionals, and mentors as well as women in recovery who are actively involved in helping others stay sober.
Our History
In 2019, alarmed by the increasing rate of addiction and the lack of high-quality sober living homes, women in AA & Al-Anon had a vision for opening up a uniquely elevated program. Taking the time to not only raise money, our founders were intentional in conducting research and planning purposely so that Gratitude House could offer an affordable aftercare program that cannot be found anywhere else in this region.
Generous donors attended concerts and coffees which enabled the purchase of the first home in December of 2023. Gratitude House opened up its doors to the first residents in April of 2024.
In our first two years, 85% of participants have stayed sober 6 months and longer with 97% job placement.
A Vision for You
Our vision is for women to stay for as long as they need, up to two years, during which time they will gain the structure, accountability, and fellowship needed to reduce the risk of relapse and empower them to thrive.
Residents are immersed in recovery, supported by professionals who provide them with high levels of support and accountability so they can leave and live lives beyond their wildest dreams.
You are not alone
If you are a woman on your way to thirty days of sobriety with a willingness to go to any length to stay sober, we hope you will consider joining our amazing community.
