Inside Our Newest Women's Home

Walk through our new Bloomington residence and the design choices behind it. Every room is built on one idea: connection is the opposite of addiction.

The Phase System

A clean bed is only the first step. Our residents move through a structured, step-down framework designed to carry them from stabilization to genuine independence.

PHASE 1

Stabilization & Foundation

Residents begin in a shared room with its own bathroom and walk-in closet space. The close proximity is deliberate. Peers notice when something is wrong long before a relapse happens.

Milestones

  • Stabilize health and regulate medications
  • Secure employment
  • Show daily commitment to the program
PHASE 2

Mentorship & Autonomy

Once stabilized, residents move into a permanent, private room with a roommate matched to complement their personality. The focus shifts from personal stabilization to community responsibility.

Milestones

  • Take on greater autonomy
  • Mentor incoming Phase 1 residents
  • Step up as a leader in the house
TRANSITION

Independent Success

Most residents stay with us for six months to a year. That is enough of a safety net to rebuild completely rather than just get by.

Outcomes

  • Sustainable income secured
  • Housing insecurity behind them
  • Independent, and often homeowners

We surround residents with high-quality amenities on purpose: to push back against low self-esteem and reinforce that their growth is worth investing in. Because connection is the opposite of addiction, every home is built to form tight, family-style bonds: residents who hold each other accountable, and lift each other up when things get hard.

Housing & Amenities

The Malibu House offers more than just a place to stay; it provides a home where individuals can rebuild their lives in a nurturing and structured environment. The facilities are thoughtfully designed to encourage comfort, focus, and connection.

Shared spaces such as communal kitchens, living rooms equipped with 70-inch flatscreen TVs and iMacs, and outdoor areas allow residents to bond and find peace. Amenities such as fitness equipment, recreation areas, and quiet study spaces ensure a balanced and supportive environment.

Holistic Support System

The Malibu House's holistic approach goes beyond individual recovery, creating a powerful support network that connects residents with their peers, mentors, and broader communities. A key aspect of this system is our partnership with Impossible.

Through wellness initiatives and events, residents develop meaningful relationships beyond the house walls. By addressing emotional, social, and practical needs, this comprehensive support system equips residents with the tools to thrive.
