Ruth’s Way
About
Ruth’s Way is a faith-based nonprofit in East Boston that supports women in recovery. It runs sober living homes for women and offers recovery coaching, training and public speaking, all aimed at person-centered whole health and wellness. The organization takes its inspiration from Mark 5:34 and describes its purpose as walking alongside women as they heal, grow and become the women they were uniquely designed to be.
The nonprofit started in 2014 with advocacy and public speaking to raise awareness, reduce stigma and promote recovery-oriented systems of care. Its first sober home opened in December 2016, and more than 300 women have lived in its homes since, some staying for years to build stability. The sober living model is structured around SAMHSA’s eight dimensions of wellness. Recovery coaches help participants remove barriers, advocate for them and navigate support services.
