judy’s house

Judy’s House is a Christian, faith-based discipleship home offering women a safe and healthy place to recover. Many women enter the home after successfully completing drug treatment or jail programs. Our students have at least 30 day’s clean and are willing to accept suggestions from their housemates and staff.

Judy’s House is located in Galveston, Texas. We live in a beautiful and spacious four-bedroom house for Christ-centered discipleship to women who are willing and able to work in a faith-based program.

We opened our doors in December 2018 and have served and discipled hundreds of women many who are now in long term recovery.

IT ALL STARTED WHEN…I needed to find someplace to live after treatment. My sister’s house was safe, but I was rebellious. I loved Jesus but I had never lived in the free world without drugs in my body and there was too much water under the bridge with my family. I needed to get around other people like me, people in recovery. My first Oxford House was a true blessing, but I had to navigate my faith on my own. My housemates didn’t understand why I lived according to Biblical principles and often gave me a hard time about it. I dreamt that someday I would develop a program offering women a place to live their faith and their recovery out loud.

Today that dream is a reality.

Welcome to Judy’s House.

Meet Judy, my mom and namesake of Judy’s House

how it works

The women live in a single residence as a family and are learning to live life, on life's terms. We have a team of community mentors volunteering their talents and time to teach life skills, work ethic, Biblical principles on identity, prayer, faith, purpose, and more! All of this coupled with the proven 12 Steps of traditional recovery.

The women of Judy's House Galveston are learning the importance of being a productive member of our community and how to add value to our beloved Galveston! Why are we having so much success? We stand on the Word of God. Period.

The women are daily learning scriptures and renewing their minds in the Word. Whatever our minds tell our hands to do, they do. Wherever our minds tell our feet to go; they go. If we get our mind right, the body follows. We treat addictions as a spiritual problem with a spiritual answer. If they have Jesus leading their life they can overcome temptations leading to relapse. They stick and stay. They allow the process to transform them into who God has called them to be! They are gaining confidence in recovery and faith, working out and working jobs. All have quit mind-altering substances completely, all have opened bank accounts, and all are learning the value of being a productive member of society!

Welcome to judy’s HOUSE

Hello Beautiful RecoveryChick,

We have been praying for you and we are glad you are here. You are not alone. RecoveryChick's have been where you are, and we are here to boldly proclaim people like us do recover!!

We are a breed of broken people who are in the process of being transformed. We are not ashamed to tell our story and not ashamed of Jesus. We are putting a purpose to our pain. We are sharing our lives with others so they too can be free. When He sends us, we will go. We are applying recovery principles to every area of life and living a life we never could've imagined.

We are recovering from anything that’s keeping us from living our God-given purpose and destiny. We are stepping out of denial and into God's grace. If this resonates in your Spirit and you are ready to do the honest work of recovery, we invite you to fill out this application and come to live with us in this Christ-Centered recovery community.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

testimonial: tt

TT is a 34-year-old mom of six children who has over six months clean for the first time since she began putting that poison in her body at a young age. In her active addiction, she lost custody of her children to Child Protective Services. She was devastated; it was her personal bottom, and the only way was up! She successfully completed inpatient drug treatment and sought out Judy’s House to continue in her recovery and her walk with Jesus! She has lived at Judy’s for nearly seven months and because of generous donors, she was able to benefit from a scholarship until she could secure full-time employment. She has worked hard, committed her life to a Christ-Centered recovery, and is thriving. She has quit smoking, is a supervisor on her job, got a savings account, is working on her driver’s license, and most recently got to see her children for an unsupervised visit! Soon she will be reunited with her children in the weeks to come and honestly this is just the beginning of this family’s story!
