Faith-Guided Residential Recovery for Men

Life House offers a structured, faith-centered residential program for men seeking recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. Operated by Volunteers of America Northern Rockies, a long-established nonprofit ministry, the program emphasizes restoring health in body, mind, and spirit. Treatment combines evidence-based therapies with a compassionate community model that helps residents build confidence, accountability, and lasting life skills.

Integrated Clinical Care and Medical Detox

Life House blends therapeutic depth with medical and practical support. Residents have access to clinical therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and Seeking Safety. The program includes on-site detox and medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine and naltrexone, to promote safe stabilization and reduce relapse risk. Family participation and 12-step engagement further strengthen connection, healing, and accountability throughout recovery.

Skills, Structure, and Vocational Growth

Treatment at Life House is built around real-world readiness. Alongside individual and group therapy, residents take part in daily living and parenting education, corrective thinking (True Thought), and vocational preparation. GED tutoring, employment counseling, and recovery coaching help residents transition successfully into work and community life. This focus on stability, educational, social, and financial, makes Life House particularly suited for those seeking to rebuild every aspect of daily living.

Supportive Setting and Mission-Driven Purpose

The facility’s home-like environment features shared meals, quiet and visiting areas, and outdoor amenities such as gardens and open natural spaces that encourage reflection and community connection. Transportation assistance ensures access to needed services and appointments. Rooted in Volunteers of America’s 125-year mission to serve with compassion and faith, Life House provides men with the structure, dignity, and consistent guidance needed to rediscover purpose and maintain recovery beyond treatment.
