Talitha Koum Women's Recovery House

What Talitha Koum Women's Recovery House does

Talitha Koum Women's Recovery House is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization founded in 2003 and headquartered in Greenfield, Indiana, approximately 20 minutes east of Indianapolis. The organization operates a single Level III Certified Recovery House through INARR (Indiana Association of Recovery Residences), providing a structured 6-month residential recovery program for women 18 and older seeking to overcome addiction. The facility is a remodeled four-bedroom single-family home with capacity for up to 9 residents, staffed 24/7 with a House Manager or Resident Assistant. Programming includes individualized recovery plans, life skills training, employment preparation, self-care education, access to one-on-one counseling through community partnerships, and 12-step program support. During the first 30 days, residents are not permitted to work or have personal cell phones to allow for mental, physical, and spiritual reset.

The organization's go-to-market is a direct application-based admission process: prospective residents download an application, submit it by mail or email, and are interviewed before acceptance. The founding vision came from Director Linda Ostewig, inspired by her daughter's 11-year battle with alcohol addiction and the gap in sober living options post-rehabilitation. The revenue model is donation-dependent, combining contributions from individual donors, grants from foundations and government entities (including a $15,000 grant from United Way of Central Indiana in March 2025), community business sponsorships, and low-cost weekly contributions from residents. Marketing is conducted through the organization's website, Facebook page, email newsletter, PayPal donation portal, and direct mail. No technology platform, proprietary software, or digital services underpin operations; the model is fundamentally people-intensive and facility-based.

• Ashley Addiction Treatment: Nonprofit residential addiction treatment provider serving adults including women. Comparable population and program structure (extended-stay residential recovery), but at broader clinical scale and with more developed alumni programming.
• CeDAR at UCHealth: University-affiliated residential addiction treatment center with extended-care recovery housing. Comparable in mission and women-serving residential recovery services, but integrated within a large hospital system and offering higher-acuity clinical care.
• Recovery Centers of America: Multi-site addiction treatment operator with inpatient and sober living components. Comparable in resident profile and continuum-of-care philosophy, but operates at significantly larger scale and uses a for-profit funding model.

• McShin Foundation: Virginia-based nonprofit operating recovery residences and sober living for individuals in recovery. Direct peer in mission, resident profile, and reliance on peer-support staffing within residential recovery settings.
