Simply Grace is a non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas, dedicated to providing safe, structured environments for women recovering from substance use disorders. Their mission focuses on assisting women in rebuilding their lives and achieving long-term recovery through supportive
sober living homes and comprehensive programs.
Their services include multiple women's sober living homes, one of which is a "mommy and me" house designed to support women with children aged 2-12, helping them navigate parenting while in recovery. Simply Grace offers an Intensive
Outpatient Program (
IOP) that spans nine weeks, meeting three days a week, and includes weekly individual sessions. The program incorporates various therapeutic approaches, such as 12-step facilitation,
cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy, aiming to improve mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health.
Simply Grace serves adult women seeking recovery from substance abuse, including those with children, by providing a supportive community and resources tailored to their needs. Their programs require residents to engage in productive activities like work, volunteering, or education for a minimum of 30 hours per week. Additional support includes weekly life skills groups facilitated by licensed professionals, daily meditation, and access to individual counseling. The organization also operates a thrift store that offers job skills training and volunteer opportunities, further aiding in the residents' reintegration into society.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Simply Grace House Dallas provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
