In 1976, Grace House was started in midtown Memphis at 329 N. Bellevue by Pat Stokes. It began as a "safe place"
for alcoholic women who were trying to get sober. Since that time, it has grown and transformed into a reputable long
term residential alcohol and drug treatment center, with a halfway house and extended care programs. We are licensed
by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health, accredited by CARF, and a United Way agency. Throughout the years the
purpose has remained the same; addressing the needs of women who are trying to reclaim their lives from the devastating effects
of chronic alcohol and drug use, as well as co-occurring disorders.
Our primary sources of funding include block grant funds through the State of Tennessee, United Way, Addiction Recovery Program,
and Board of Probation and Parole. We also rely on private donations and agency fundraising.
Any adult female suffering from a substance abuse problem and/or co-occurring disorders who has a sincere desire to overcome
her problem and has no severe medical complications may be admitted. Pregnant women and female IV drug users with co-occurring
disorders are given priority.
