About Us
Our Focus
Since 1982, the Edwina Martin House has empowered over 4,000 women, ages 20 to 65, to reclaim their lives from addiction. In this safe and supportive space, women rediscover their strength, rebuild relationships, and unlock new paths to education, employment, and personal growth—transforming struggle into hope and healing.
A Safe Haven for Women in Recovery
As one of Massachusetts’ first recovery homes designed specifically for women, the Edwina Martin House has been a beacon of hope since its founding. Located in the Brockton area, the House welcomes women from across the state, offering residential services to 21 women and accommodations for up to two infants at a time. Our philosophy is rooted in dignity, inclusivity, and open-minded support—creating a space where women can heal, grow, and rediscover their potential.
At the Edwina Martin House, pregnant and postpartum women are given the unique opportunity to begin recovery and motherhood side by side. Through strong partnerships with local health services, we help ensure better outcomes for both mother and child. By treating every woman with dignity and encouraging personal responsibility, we offer our recovery mothers, daughters, and sisters a powerful chance to start anew—with hope, healing, and a future full of possibility.
