From Andrea DeCotis, owner or Rise Above ...

“Our calling is to provide a safe harbor from which re overlong individuals can heal and grow. It is our experience that those suffering in active addiction are wonderful people afflicted with a horrible disease. Addiction does not only ravage the lives of those who are actively using, but also the lives of those who love them the most. We believe that structure, support, and community programs are the vessels by which our residents return to the stream of life. 

Our collective background has taught us that action steps are a necessary part of transforming into our best and most genuine selves. The Rise Above team is here to help residents take these action steps. We offer not only shelter from the storm but a framework intended to facilitate upward movement. One cannot board the vessel of recovery without taking the steps. We have crafted the ladder... and we are here to help you climb.”

On behalf of Rise Again: The Sabrina Best Foundation, Kyla Best and I delivered “Fresh Start” baskets to the Edwina Martin House in Brockton. The Edwina Martin House is one of the state’s first recovery homes, designed specifically for women. They offer services to up to 21 women and can accommodate up to 4 infants at a time. The Edwina Martin House welcomes women from throughout the state, from detoxification units and short-term rehab centers.

Many women come here from incarceration, as well as, homelessness having limited belongings or nothing but the clothes on their backs.

The Edwina Martin House has relationships with many local health services. Through these relationships, they are able to provide pregnant and post-partum women the opportunity to begin recovery and motherhood simultaneously, with better health outcomes for both mother and child. By treating each woman with dignity while stressing personal responsibility, Edwina Martin House offers recovering mothers, daughters, and sisters a chance for a new beginning.
