Structured Space for Men to Focus on Recovery

This is a dedicated environment where men can step away from daily pressures and focus fully on recovery. This residential program serves adults struggling with alcohol or drug use, often complicated by anxiety, depression, trauma, or anger. The men’s program offers 24/7 care and a structured daily routine that balances therapy, group support, and personal accountability. By sharing space and progress with other men in recovery, clients build connection and confidence to sustain sobriety after discharge.

Addressing Stability in Treatment and Real Life

Treatment plans draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic counseling, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based relapse prevention to help clients understand triggers and regulate emotions. Group sessions focus on communication and relapse prevention, while holistic activities help men reconnect mind and body. Life-skills and resume-building classes prepare clients for a successful return to work and community life.

Home-Like Setting

Men live in shared rooms and spend time in communal areas that encourage peer connection. The home includes a gym, laundry facilities, healthy meals prepared daily, transportation assistance, and a spacious backyard for reflection and recreation.
