Joseph House

Dedicated to Serving All Veterans Facing Addiction and Unstable Housing

This facility is specifically dedicated to veterans struggling with addiction and who are often unhoused. Its residential facility can serve several dozen individuals at a time, providing judgment-free camaraderie and sober housing for diverse needs, with accommodations for female veterans and those with mobility challenges. Programs are built to help veterans rebuild stability and independence through peer support and clinical care.

Structured Recovery Methods at Every Level of Care

Residential programming combines 12-Step recovery, case management, and evidence-based therapies with trauma care, anger management, grief support, yoga, and animal therapy. The IOP uses the Hazelden “Living in Balance” curriculum, blending cognitive behavioral therapy and experiential approaches, alongside Moral Reconation Therapy to strengthen decision-making. Outpatient services continue the Matrix Model with relapse prevention, counseling, and sober living skills training.

Stable, Supportive Housing When Veterans Need It Most

For long-term recovery, the Ready & Forward Aftercare Program offers continued therapy, relapse prevention, and case management for housing, work, finances, and education. Veterans struggling with stable housing can access Service Intensive Transitional Housing, which combines shelter with counseling, employment support, life skills training, and case management in a structured environment to prepare for permanent housing.

Educating Veterans’ Loved Ones to Care for Themselves and Those in Recovery

For family and friends of veterans in recovery, the program provides education on addiction, guidance on healthy roles and boundaries, and tools for building supportive environments. It also emphasizes self-care for loved ones, aiming to repair strained relationships and strengthen networks around each veteran in recovery.

Client Reviews

Many reviewers highlight the facility’s strong commitment to veterans, with staff who often bring lived recovery experience and genuine care. Several clients describe life-changing outcomes, while others note areas where communication and policies could be clearer.

• Staff & Care Experience (75% positive): Many clients praise the staff as caring, professional, and often peers in recovery, though some point to inconsistent rule enforcement or staff interactions that should be professional. "The staff is a group of top notch professionals that truly care."
• Treatment Quality & Outcomes (80% positive): Several reviewers credit the program with helping their lives or transforming loved ones’ recovery journeys. Some describe restored pride and purpose, especially among veterans. "This program is absolutely amazing, my dad is in recovery and is HAPPIER THAN he has ever been."
• Facility & Environment: Clients mention clean and safe spaces, but some point to opportunities for improvement in food quality and living conditions.
• Access & Process: Some reviewers highlight quick admissions and strong support in getting started. Others raise frustration about medication policies—particularly around those used for PTSD—which left some veterans feeling turned away.
• Support & Community: Many reviews emphasize camaraderie and respect for veterans, with a sense of accountability and belonging. A few, however, mention the varied statuses of veteran participants and note challenges tied to discharge status.
