Mission

Edwina Martin house (EMH) is a 21-bed, residential addiction rehabilitation program exclusively for women. The organization aims to enable all residents to return to society with renewed self-esteem, sober and/or addiction-free, to reconnect with the community and family and be economically self-sustaining.

History

The house opened 25 years ago, funded and organized by the Catholic Charitable Bureau, and became an independent organization in 2002 in the wake of the Archdiocese of Boston’s fiscal crisis. Edwina Martin House was slated for closure at that time, but a group of women involved in addiction recovery intervened and formed EMH Recovery, the nonprofit organization that now operates Edwina Martin House.
