“You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust.
You were born with ideals and dreams.
You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.”
― Rumi
A House of Healing for Women
The McCoy House Extended Care for Women offers a tranquil place for women to reflect on the past, live in the present and plan for the future. It is a spacious two-story home with vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light, nestled on seven and a half wooded acres.
We provide a safe and secure place to start the life-long journey of recovery. Emphasis is placed on unity within the home, working a 12-step program, and being responsible and self-supporting.
Our Mission
Restoring hope to a renewed life is the heart of our mission at The McCoy House. We firmly believe in the transformative power of hope, witnessing its profound impact every day as it guides each of our women towards a life of purpose, fulfillment, and lasting sobriety.
In transitioning from inpatient treatment to our home, women often find themselves in need of a space for emotional recovery and healing. The journey through inpatient treatment can be likened to emotional boot camp or open-heart surgery—intense and transformative, yet leaving behind wounds that need time to heal. At The McCoy House, we recognize the necessity for this transition period in a safe environment. Instead of returning home with open wounds, our residents find sanctuary here, where they can process their experiences, receive support, and gradually rebuild themselves.
While sober living homes are often perceived solely as places for recovering addicts to reside with support and guidance, The McCoy House transcends this notion. It’s not just a place of residence; it’s a sanctuary of healing. Within our four walls, women discover more than just support—they find a community that understands their journey, respects their struggles, and believes in their potential. It’s a space where they can not only rebuild their lives but also rediscover their sense of self-worth and purpose.
We prioritize offering comforts that affirm the dignity and self-worth of our women. They are deserving of more than just a roof overhead; they deserve an environment adorned with nice things—comfortable mattresses, soft linens, and pretty furnishings. These amenities aren’t just indulgences; they’re essential components of their journey towards healing and the restoration of hope.
We believe in the power of positive energy to shape our reality. We envision a world where women embrace their inherent worthiness, understanding that self-respect and kindness pave the way for a life filled with promise and possibility.
We advocate for compassion towards those battling addiction, emphasizing the need to direct frustration towards the disease, not the individual.
Despite being hailed as a ‘best-kept secret,’ we aspire for broader recognition, not for accolades, but to extend our transformative work to more women in need. Ours is a vision of hope, a guiding light illuminating the path towards a future brimming with potential for all who seek it.
The McCoy House is where healing begins and hope flourishes.
Success Stories
“The McCoy House not only gave me a place to heal, it gave me my life back. In the 14 months I lived there, it became a home to me and a place I will always return to. I learned new things about myself as well as rediscovered pieces of myself that I had forgotten. I was so lost and so down, and truly learned to love myself while I was there. I had never had self-esteem and always wondered why life had to be so hard. At McCoy I learned that life is only hard if we do not trust God and ourselves. I will never forget the women there who helped me and will always come back to help others just the same. McCoy saved my life and gave me the safe space I needed to heal and thrive.”
