​Welcome to Us

The name, Talitha Koum, is from Syriac language meaning "Little Girl Rise Up".
​We thought it perfectly fit the mission of what our Recovery House represents.

The Talitha Koum house is located at 527 East Main Street, Greenfield, In.  The house has been remodeled into a four bedroom, single family residence that is home for up to 9 women in recovery. A House Manager or Resident Assistant are on site 24/7. We are a Level III Certified Recovery House through INARR.

The home offers a safe, supportive and a sober living environment for women on their journey to recovery. We teach and encourage self  responsibility in all areas of life. Our programming also includes teaching general life skills, the importance of self-care, the tools needed for employment, and recovery programs.

​Funding is combination of donations, grants and sponsorships through our community. Additionally, each resident is responsible for a low-cost weekly contribution to the household.

Director - Linda Ostewig

Linda has a heart and passion to see families and those trapped in addiction to be free.  This vision for opening a women's sober home in Hancock County came from her daughter's 11 year struggle with alcohol addiction. She struggled with having with no place to live sober after many rehab stays.  Linda has led several 12 step workshops and groups in codependency and addictions.  She has also taught the 12 steps and principles of recovery.
