Dove Recovery House

What Dove Recovery House does

Dove Recovery House for Women, Inc. is an Indiana-based private nonprofit founded in 2000 that operates free, long-term residential recovery housing for women with substance use disorder. The organization runs a Level IV Recovery Residence program certified through the Indiana Alliance for Recovery Residences (INARR), combining Trauma-Informed Care principles with American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) guidelines. Core programming includes safe and sober housing, trauma-informed therapy (Seeking Safety, Stages of Change/Relational Needs, Intensive Outpatient Program), peer recovery support from Certified Peer Support Professionals, life skills and job-readiness training, parenting and financial literacy classes, family reunification services, on-site 12-step meetings, and the Steps to Success aftercare program. Programming is offered entirely free of charge to residents at an average cost of approximately $287–$300 per client per week.

Dove Recovery House operates three Indiana facilities — a 40-bed Marion County campus in Indianapolis (founded 2000, expanding by 15 beds to 55 in 2025–2026), a 15-bed Dubois County home in Jasper (opened Fall 2022), and a 15-bed Bartholomew County residence in Columbus (opening June 2026, the first of its kind in that county) — collectively projected to serve 85 women nightly by end of 2026 and over 100 women annually. The organization is funded entirely through philanthropy: institutional grants (notably Lilly Endowment Inc., Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation, FSSA, City of Indianapolis HUD CDBG, and Dubois County Community Foundation), individual donations, corporate sponsorships (including audiochuck, Starbucks Foundation, Jasper Engines & Transmission, OFS, and Old National Bank), and an annual Celebration Luncheon & Dessert Dash event. CEO Wendy Noe has led the organization since approximately 2014, during which time the budget has grown roughly 12-fold from $250,000 to a projected $3 million-plus for 2026.

The technology stack is intentionally light and operationally focused: an online admissions portal via third-party Behave Health, standard communications and event-marketing infrastructure, and no proprietary software or AI systems — the differentiation is delivered through human clinical and peer-support expertise. With a staff of approximately 35 (including licensed therapists, certified peer recovery coaches, addiction/recovery nurses, and administrative personnel) and a reported 78–80% successful program completion rate, the organization's competitive position rests on regulatory certification, multi-county geographic footprint, embedded community referral networks, and a deep institutional funder ecosystem rather than on technology or scale economies.
