About Us
How We Help Moms!
…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…
Our Mission
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 addiction and co-occurring disorders 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.
A Mission to Provide Hope!
At Susannah’s House we know that you want to be a difference maker in our community. In order to do that, you need a partner that is committed to helping restore families battling addiction. We believe every family deserves a second chance!
We understand the sadness watching families being torn apart by substance abuse which is why, for over ten years, we have been helping moms find recovery and freedom.
Here’s how you can make a difference:
Prayerfully consider how you can help financially and/or by volunteering.

The staff members at Susannah’s House are licensed, and trained to work with mothers in recovery as well as their children (ages six weeks to five years). Several staff members are certified peer recovery specialists who completed the Susannah’s House Intensive Outpatient Program in the past. We also have volunteers and interns who are trained to lead groups, be mentors to the mothers, and provide support services to the staff members.
