SULLIVAN, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – A new recovery center is opening soon in Sullivan to meet a need in the area.
Ruth House is a new treatment facility for women with addiction. It’s located on South Crowder Street and will open its doors on July 15.
Ruth House will be a live-in program for up to ten women at a time. It offers nine months to two years of evidence-based programming, recovery and life skills and bible studies.
The Executive Director Peggy Poe is an Alcohol and Drug Treatment Specialist, as well as a state certified Recovery Specialist and Community Health Worker.
Her own experience with recovery makes helping other women very important to her.
“The reason why this program is so dear to my heart is I will be six years clean from meth in November,” says Poe. “I decided to change my life and here I am today. I know that if I can change with the right people and the right support system, then anybody can change. If I can help one woman do what I have done in the past six years, then that’s what it’s going to be, but I’m confident it will be more than one.”
Ruth House will have an unveiling event on Tuesday at 3:30 P.M. at the Sullivan Civic Center. The event will be open to the public.
