Grace House of Memphis

What Grace House of Memphis does

Grace House of Memphis is a private non-profit founded in 1976 by Pat Stokes that delivers a gender-specific continuum of care for adult women struggling with alcohol and illicit drug use, co-occurring mental health conditions, and trauma. The organization operates a single Memphis, Tennessee facility licensed by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, offering long-term residential treatment (3–6 months), a halfway house program (3 months–1 year), an intensive outpatient program (12–24 weeks), standard outpatient services, social-setting detoxification, aftercare, family support, life-skills/job-readiness training, relapse prevention, pastoral support, and case management. Approximately 99% of clients are indigent and over 65% report homelessness or unsafe housing, with internal survey data showing 90% of clients have at least one Adverse Childhood Experience and 63% have four or more.

The organization's clinical model is trauma-informed and co-occurring-capable, emphasizing individualized care planning and process-oriented group healing. It does not deliver technology products in the conventional sense; its proprietary capabilities reside in its treatment methodology, integrated care planning, and an ecosystem of wraparound partnerships with medical, dental, vision, legal, financial, and workforce-development providers. The Gracette sub-brand (alumni storytelling and a thrift shop) extends engagement beyond clinical programming.

Its business model is donation- and government-funding-driven rather than fee-based: all treatment is provided regardless of ability to pay, and revenue derives from individual/monetary donations, the Gracette Stores thrift operation, and Tennessee state licensing/contract funding streams. Customer acquisition is community-led through the criminal justice system, court-mandated referrals, and inter-agency referrals, with admissions processed by phone and an online pre-screening questionnaire. Governance rests with a volunteer Board of Directors, currently operating under an Interim Executive Director during a leadership transition.
