W.A.D.E. Freedom House Inc. is a recovery home for women located in Jacksonville, Alabama providing services for up to 37 women.  W.A.D.E. Freedom House started in 2005 and  functions in the community as a place for females to recover from drug and alcohol addiction and find a new way to live.  The program is designed to provide a safe, supportive living environment conducive to the spiritual and emotional growth vital to recovery.  We provide services to any woman with a desire to change their life. 

Most women that are admitted into the facility are homeless, unemployed, vicitims of abuse, substance abusers and/ or convicted felons. Each woman that lives here has the same opportunity to find gainful employment, get a G.E.D. or further their high school education, receive counseling, learn how to work a twelve step program and regain their self esteem to overcome their past. Seventy-five percent of the women who come to W.A.D.E. have children.  When a woman comes to the house who has lost custody of her children, with time, she may earn the opportunity to regain custody or be reunited with her family.
