A Mission to Provide HOPE

Picture
Susannah's House is an Intensive Outpatient Recovery Program for mothers in recovery.  We exist to serve the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of mothers and their children. Our mission is to provide a source of help and hope in a therapeutic, Christian community for women and their children to break adverse cycles and rebuild their families.

We provide a nurturing and therapeutic environment for individuals and families to achieve sobriety, enhance mother and child relationships, and build better life skills while promoting spiritual growth. We believe destructive cycles can be broken and want to serve women who have the desire and commitment to change. Our program is a holistic set of modules for mothers determined to recover from opioid addiction and establish a safe and supportive family system. Susannah’s House is staffed with professionals in recovery and social services fields and is supported by volunteers from the Knoxville community.

Susannah's House is a faith-based ministry started by Cokesbury United Methodist Church in 2013 and now operating as an independent not-for-profit organization with the gracious support of the community at large. We partner with many churches of various denominations and non-profits throughout the community to serve our families with the highest level of care possible!



​"Children on the margin of placement are found to be two to three times more likely to enter the criminal justice system as adults if they were placed in foster care."  Joseph J. Doyle Jr. 

An Open Invitation

We invite mothers:
  • who are in ongoing recovery from substance abuse who have completed alcohol and drug assessment and have followed its recommendations, or
  • who have children with Department of Children's Services (DCS) involvement due to family substance abuse, or
  • who have had children under the jurisdiction of the court system due to parental substance abuse. Children may be in foster care or other care or may have been returned to parental custody, or
  • who struggle with addiction and are pregnant.

We invite mothers to bring their infants and children up to age 11
  • who are affected by parents' drug exposure, or
  • who were exposed to drugs in utero
  • who are siblings of drug exposed infants

We invite foster parents and others caring for children with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) to attend special programs designed to help them understand the special needs of the children under their care.

We do not discriminate on basis of race, ethnicity, religion, or economics. Mothers may be referred by other agencies, or may be self-referred.
