About Toll Gate Sober House
Toll Gate Sober House is sober living for women in Warwick, Rhode Island, located at 552 Toll Gate Road in the center of the state, a short drive south of Providence. It is a ten-bed house with two private rooms and eight shared beds, so it runs smaller than most. There is a good-size parking lot, coin-operated laundry on site, free high-speed WiFi, air conditioning and a computer station, and counseling, grocery stores, parks and transit are nearby.
A trained House Mentor lives at the house and leads it day to day for Kayaly Recovery, the chartered operator. Women here keep up with meetings, work, school and their other obligations while living under clear expectations, and drug screens happen at random. This home has a long record of service to the Warwick and Providence recovery communities. Up the road at 560 Toll Gate Road, Kayaly: Toll Gate Sober House offers twelve beds for women under the same operator.

What Women in Our Homes Say
Residents, families and neighbours of Vanderburgh Sober Living homes.
I have been here now for 2 years. If it wasn't for the safety and well run houses such as this one I would have never stayed sober. I feel proud and safe every time I come home and have such uplifting support every day.
My sober house has been instrumental in my recovery. It is a comfortable environment that allows you to be independent. You're held accountable and expected to uphold values that are consistent with your recovery. I am extremely thankful for the friends that I have made here.
My daughter has been living with Vanderburgh House for several months. Though she had been to many rehabs and other programs, this was her first sober house. This is the one place that we found has worked.

Ways to Pay for Sober Living in Warwick
Most guests pay for sober living themselves, weekly or monthly. Rent is not currently covered by insurance or state subsidy. There are still more ways to cover it than most people expect, and the three below are the ones that come up most often. If money is the only thing standing between you and a bed, say so on the application. We would rather have that conversation than lose you to it.
Private Pay
Paying yourself is the most common route. Rent is all-inclusive: utilities, WiFi, laundry and urine screening all come out of the weekly rate, so there is no second bill to plan around. Most guests cover it from wages, and the house schedule is built to make that possible.
Family Support
Families often cover the first few weeks while a guest gets back to work. That is a normal way to start, and nobody here will treat it as unusual. A parent, partner or sibling can pay the deposit and rent directly, and we will walk them through the house rules, the schedule, and what to expect in the first month.
One thing to be clear about: the agreement is with the guest, not with the family.
Grants & Scholarships
Some states fund recovery housing directly, through scholarships, bed subsidies, or reentry grants run by state agencies and nonprofits. The money is limited and the programs change, so ask early instead of assuming there is nothing. Put it on your application if you need help with funding.
