About Us
Lowcountry Renewal is a sober living community in Charleston SC, offering three structured homes designed to support long-term recovery. Two of our homes are located in the West Ashley area, and it is 10 minutes from downtown Charleston. The other home is located in downtown Charleston. Our homes provide a safe, stable, and substance free environment where residents can focus on personal growth, accountability, and long term recovery.
We understand that the transition from treatment to everyday life can be challenging. We believe recovery is a process of rebuilding-one day at a time, with purpose, structure and support. That's why our program is designed to offer structure and consistency, while still encouraging personal responsibility. We recognize that environment plays a critical role in recovery for drug and alcohol addiction. The people you are surrounded by, the structure of your daily life and the stability of your living space all have a direct impact on long-term success. At Lowcountry Renewal, we intentionally create an environment that supports positive change; one that removes common triggers, encourages healthy habits, and reinforces accountability. By surrounding residents with peer support and clear expectations, we help create the conditions necessary for lasting recovery.
Structure is a key part of our program. Each home operates with clearly defined house rules designed to promote respect, responsibility, and consistency. Residents are expected to maintain sobriety, follow curfews, participate in recovery-oriented activities, and contribute positively to the household. In addition, weekly chores are assigned to ensure that each resident takes ownership of the living environment, helping to build discipline, teamwork, and pride in the home.
At the heart of Lowcountry Renewal is a community built on mutual respect and shared experience. We foster a community where residents support one another, hold each other accountable, and celebrate progress together. Every resident is treated with dignity and encouraged to rediscover their voice, rebuild confidence, and move forward with purpose.
Whether you're continuing your journey after treatment or seeking a structured place to begin again, Lowcountry Renewal offers the foundation and community to help you succeed.
Our Relapse Policy
A relapse does not automatically mean permanent discharge. If a resident relapses, management looks at the circumstances, the resident’s needs, safety and the impact on the household before deciding on the right response. Depending on the situation, we may:
Meet privately with the resident to discuss what happened and any immediate safety concerns
Ask the resident to identify recovery support and create or update a recovery plan
Encourage or help arrange contact with a sponsor, recovery support provider or treatment professional
Agree a written plan for continued residency, with clear conditions and follow-up
Require the resident to seek a higher level of care if their needs go beyond what sober living can safely provide
Begin discharge when necessary to protect other residents or keep the home substance-free
Continued residency is never guaranteed and depends on each resident's ability to meet house expectations.
Drug Alcohol Testing
All residents agree to observed drug screens and/or breathalyzer tests on request, completed within one hour. Testing is free for residents. Senior peers may carry out tests at management's request.
Refusing a test, or testing positive for alcohol or drugs, means leaving the home immediately, as set out in our residency agreement. What happens next is covered by our relapse policy.
Observed testing
Within 1 hour of request

About Our Sober Living - FAQs
Who runs Lowcountry Renewal?
Lowcountry Renewal LLC was founded by Betty Green, who is also the house manager. She checks in with every home daily, and each home has an appointed house leader.
Are your homes drug-tested?
Yes. Residents take observed drug screens and/or breathalyzer tests on request and must complete them within one hour. Testing is free for residents.
What happens if a resident relapses?
A relapse does not automatically mean permanent discharge. Management meets privately with the resident and decides on the safest next step. That may be a written recovery plan, a referral to a higher level of care or, when needed to protect the home, discharge.
Is Lowcountry Renewal a treatment center?
No. We provide sober housing, not clinical treatment. Many residents attend outpatient programs and recovery meetings while living with us, and anyone enrolled in aftercare when they move in must complete it.
Can family members contact you?
Yes. Families are welcome to call 843-826-7299, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm, with questions about our homes.
