Safe, stable housing is the foundation for recovery. Without it, it’s incredibly hard to keep a job or attend treatment, maintain routines that support sobriety, or rebuild trust with children and family.

At Amanda’s House, we offer a sober, family‑centered home so moms don’t have to choose between getting better and staying connected with their children—when it’s safe to do so. Here, recovery and family can grow together under one roof.

The Addiction Policy Forum today launched the Cannabis Use Disorder Prevention and Awareness Week, a national effort to raise awareness about the growing impact of cannabis use and the risks associated with cannabis use disorder. This year we will share educational resources about prevention, early intervention and treatment for cannabis use disorder (CUD) the week of April 15 - 22, 2026.

As cannabis use continues to rise across the United States, public perception of its risks remains low. Recent data show that more than 20 million individuals in the U.S. meet the criteria for cannabis use disorder. Young adults are particularly affected, and early use significantly increases the likelihood of developing a disorder.

Share our science-backed resources to increase understanding of cannabis use and its health impacts and help support healthier communities.

When alcohol use disorder affects a family, the impact reaches far beyond the person who is drinking. It reaches the kids. These youth struggle with great burden – they carry fear, confusion, and responsibility far too heavy for their age. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Caring adults can learn more about the burden, and how to help youth lighten the load. It all starts with one simple question: What About the Kids?

A sober living home is not a treatment center or a shelter; it’s a safe, stable, drug‑ and alcohol‑free home where people in recovery can live in community, practice daily life skills, and build new routines and habits.

Amanda’s House is a sober living home created for women in recovery and their children, with a focus on safety and structure, supporting healthy family connection whenever it’s safe, and giving families the chance to rebuild together.

Sober living homes like ours are an important link in the chain of long‑term recovery.
