How our program works

We provide the the support of a surrogate family structure in which the residents are able to regain personal responsibility for their lives. Mentorship from alumni and individuals with long-term recovery serves to provide our residents with the tools necessary to achieve and maintain on-going "clean" time and sobriety. We believe in the unparalleled value of one addict helping and supporting another. This access to peer support from successful men in recovery empowers our residents through role-modeling the appropriate attitudes and behaviors necessary to achieve permanent, long-term recovery.
