Empowering Lives Through Recovery

Program Description

The purpose of the Recovery Home is to provide services for individuals who lack insurance or financial resources to access help. Many people struggling with substance use and living on the streets have been using drugs and alcohol for decades. Recovery is a process that requires time and significant support. These individuals need a stable, sober environment where they can learn, heal, and grow. Our Recovery Home offers up to one year of residential programming, equipping individuals with the tools to successfully reintegrate into the community.

The newly remodeled Recovery Home, located at 350 N Market Street, provides recovery education and support for up to 21 individuals at a time. Each resident has a private room within a seven-bedroom unit. Each unit includes a kitchenette, living room, bathroom, and laundry facilities. The Recovery Home also features a main dining room, kitchen, computer lab, and group rooms.

One of the most critical aspects of recovery is restoring hope. The journey to sobriety is challenging, but when shared with compassionate, supportive people, the burden becomes lighter. We walk this path together. The Salvation Army takes a holistic approach to recovery, supporting the mind, body, and soul.

Spiritual programming is always voluntary—never mandatory—but remains available to those who seek it. We believe that every person is loved by God and that faith can be a source of strength. As Johann Hari says, "The opposite of addiction is connection!"

Residents of the Recovery Home will undergo various substance use, mental health, and physical health assessments. Together with our staff, they will develop an Individual Recovery Plan that addresses addiction issues, life skills, job training and placement, support networks (including family), and long-term housing solutions. Graduates of the Recovery Home will be equipped to live independently, maintain a support system, and sustain long-term sobriety.
