Recovery Home

Program Description

The purpose of this Recovery Home is to provide recovery services to those individuals who are unable to receive help due to lack of insurance or other financial resources. People suffering from substance use and living on the street have often been using drugs and/or alcohol for decades and recovery is a process that takes time and significant support. These individuals need a sober environment to stabilize, learn and grow. Our Recovery Home will provide up to one year of residential programming and the tools to rejoin the community successfully afterwards.

The newly remodeled Recovery Home at 350 N Market Street, will provide recovery education and support for up to 21 individuals at a time. Each person will have a private room within a seven-bedroom unit. Each unit consists of a kitchenette, living room, bathroom and laundry facilities. The Recovery Home has a main dining room and kitchen, computer lab, and group rooms.

Perhaps the greatest restoration those caught in substance use need is to feel hope again. The journey to recovery is difficult, but when shared with caring, loving people the burden is lighter. We are here to walk together. The Salvation Army offers a holistic approach, providing for the mind, body, and the soul.

All Spiritual programming is voluntary, never mandatory, but always available. We believe that God loves every person and is the best resource for strength each day. We agree with Johann Hari, “The opposite of addition is connection!”

People in the Recovery Home will work through a variety of substance use, mental health, and physical health assessments and together with staff will development an Individual Recovery Plan. The plan will address addiction issues, life skills, job training and placement, support networks including families, and long-term housing. When a person graduates from the Recovery Home they will be prepared to live independently, have a support system, and be able to stay clean and sober.
