Women’s Sober Living Program
Restart in a Safe, Supportive Women’s Sober Living Home
Choosing the right women’s sober living program is about more than finding a substance free place to live. For many women in early recovery, safety, stability, and emotional support are essential for long term success.
Oak Forest Recovery proudly partners with Fierce Recovery, a dedicated women’s sober living home in Agoura Hills, California. Fierce Recovery was founded and is operated by Ginger Pollard, an Oak Forest alumna who completed the Oak Forest program and went on to create a structured, supportive home for women navigating early sobriety.
Through this partnership, women who complete treatment at Oak Forest can transition into a safe and structured environment where they continue building confidence, restore stability, and practice the recovery skills needed for lasting independence. Many women and families travel from across Southern California and throughout the United States to access this level of support.
Ginger Pollard
A Trusted Partnership in Women’s Recovery Housing
Fierce Recovery serves as Oak Forest’s trusted partner for women’s sober living. What makes this collaboration especially meaningful is the leadership of Ginger Pollard. As an Oak Forest alumna, she understands firsthand the structure, accountability, and emotional support required in early recovery.
After completing her own recovery journey, she established Fierce Recovery to provide women with a safe, gender specific environment grounded in community, responsibility, and empowerment. This shared philosophy ensures alignment between treatment at Oak Forest and the sober living experience at Fierce Recovery.
Structured Sober Living for Women Who Need Safety and Stability
Structured Sober Living for Women Who Need Safety and Stability
Early recovery can feel overwhelming, especially without predictable routines or clear expectations. For many women, uncertainty can trigger anxiety, emotional dysregulation, or relapse. Structure creates predictability, and predictability creates safety.
At Fierce Recovery, women benefit from:
- Physical and emotional safety
- Consistent routines that support stability
- Peer support from other women in recovery
- Clear boundaries that reduce stress and confusion
- Gradual independence built through responsibility
This is not passive housing. It is purposeful recovery housing designed to help women stabilize emotionally, rebuild trust in themselves, and regain a sense of control over their lives.
For women who benefit from additional accountability and consistency, structured sober living reinforces the expectations that help recovery last well beyond transitional housing.

Family Support That Reinforces Healing and Independence
At Oak Forest, we recognize that recovery often involves the broader family system. When appropriate, families receive guidance around communication, boundaries, and expectations so women can heal without feeling pressured, misunderstood, or overwhelmed.
Our approach prioritizes alignment and emotional safety. The goal is not dependence, but stability first, with empowerment built over time. This clarity allows women to return to family life with stronger boundaries, healthier communication, and greater confidence in their recovery.
Seamless Transition from Treatment to Women’s Sober Living
One of the most important phases of recovery is the transition from treatment into independent living. Through our partnership with Fierce Recovery, women move into a home environment that reflects the same structure, accountability, and recovery principles they experienced at Oak Forest.
This continuity reduces disruption, reinforces expectations, and supports long term stability.
