Magdalene House of Charleston helps our residents achieve improved social functioning by teaching them skills to find legal employment at a living wage, and ways to improve their physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
Screened applicants are invited to stay in a structured, one year program. Our Goals are to offer a chance for recovery from addiction and the opportunity for safe housing.
The phases of Magdalene House of Charleston are based on concepts that refer to the various life stages that an individual will experience while living within the recovery community. Participants in the Magdalene House program move through three phases as follows:
The residential program is designed to be completed in one year. Residents may stay longer than one year depending on the length of time it takes for successful completion of each phase required for a resident to progress to the next phase. Progression through the phases is approved by the Program Director and determined by the resident’s longevity in the program, adherence to program policies and procedures, active participation in community life, and movement through those steps required to reach her personal growth, education, and employment goals.
