Beachside is a great place to live—and a small place to search
The beachside communities of Brevard County—Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, Indialantic, and Melbourne Beach—are linked by State Road A1A and a handful of causeways. They are wonderful places to build a life in recovery, but each town is small, so a search limited to one zip code may not surface many options for women’s sober living.
Brevard Grace House is a women-only recovery residence opening January 15, 2027. It is not currently open and is accepting inquiries for future admission. This guide is planning help for women living beachside or moving to the area; it is not a claim that Grace House has a property in any beachside city. Ask admissions for the confirmed residence location before making any travel plan.
Plan around causeway trips, not straight-line distance
Beachside towns connect to the mainland over a few causeways, so a placement in Melbourne, Palm Bay, or central Brevard can be practical for beachside women whose work, treatment appointments, or family sit on the mainland side. The reverse is also true: judge each recurring trip on the exact day and time you need it, in both directions, once admissions confirms the address.
If you will not have a car, check current Space Coast Area Transit schedules rather than assuming frequent beachside-to-mainland service, and identify a backup option for weather or a missed connection. If you drive, budget fuel and maintenance separately from your housing rate.
Know what the program and weekly rate include
Grace House expects at least 32 hours per week of employment, education, volunteering, or approved productive activity, alongside weekly house meetings, shared responsibilities, screening, recovery activities, and weekly group coaching. Bring your real schedule to the admissions conversation; exact curfew and visitor rules should be confirmed with admissions rather than assumed.
The rate is $195 per week, all-inclusive, plus a one-time $100 move-in fee. Utilities, Wi-Fi, on-site laundry, a fully equipped kitchen and coffee bar, weekly group coaching, and stocked household supplies—such as toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, and dishwashing soap—are included. Every new resident receives a welcome care package with body wash, a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and snacks.
The home welcomes women taking prescribed Medication-Assisted Treatment, including Suboxone, Vivitrol, or methadone, with self-administration under house protocols. Children cannot currently live with residents; if living with your children is essential, tell your care team so they can help you find an appropriate option.
- Confirm the residence address before testing causeway trips
- Check your actual work and appointment travel times
- Review prescribed medication arrangements with admissions
- Clarify childcare and family-contact plans
- Ask for written house terms before paying
Keep certification status and clinical care separate
Brevard Grace House is going through the FARR Level 2 certification review process and will be a FARR Level 2 certified recovery residence once certified. It does not hold that certification today. If your treatment team, employer, or funding source requires certified housing, confirm exactly what must be verified and check status with FARR before arranging a discharge.
Certification also does not turn a residence into a clinic. Grace House provides recovery housing, coaching, and peer support alongside—not instead of—care from licensed professionals. Keep your outside providers, prescriptions, and appointments arranged separately.
Make one clear next step
If you need housing before January 15, 2027, ask your care team or 211 about confirmed options available now. For an immediate emergency, call 911; for mental health crisis support, call or text 988.
If you are planning for the opening, call or text (407) 758-0958 and name Brevard Grace House. A useful first question is: “I’m in the Satellite Beach area and planning women’s recovery housing for after January 15. Can we discuss the program, costs, and certification review?” An inquiry does not reserve a bed. Keep medical records out of text messages and ask about a secure process if documents are needed.
