Real Stories, Real People

Our Outcomes

80% Success Rate
Men who complete our 30-day commitment consistently achieve two critical milestones: finding employment and maintaining long-term sobriety. While individual results vary based on personal circumstances, prior history, and external supports, our model demonstrates that comprehensive, community-based recovery works.

Sustainable Change
By combining peer support, accountability, life skills training, and community connections, we significantly reduce relapse risk. Our graduates develop healthy routines and support networks that endure long after they leave our program.

Community Achievement
Recovery is never a solo journey. Many of our graduates go on to:

Mentor newer members in the program

Sponsor others in NA and AA recovery groups

Contribute positively to their families and neighborhoods

Model resilience and responsibility in their workplaces

Serve as living proof that transformation is possible

What Success Looks Like

Employment and Independence
Men gain not just jobs, but careers. They develop interview skills, workplace professionalism, and financial literacy that create pathways to long-term stability.

Restored Relationships
Families begin to heal as trust is rebuilt. Fathers reconnect with their children. Brothers repair bonds with siblings. Men learn to show up consistently for the people who matter most.

Housing Stability
Graduates transition from our sober living environment to independent housing with confidence, equipped with budgeting skills and a support network to maintain stability.

Sustained Sobriety
Long-term recovery becomes the new normal. Men develop coping mechanisms, accountability structures, and spiritual practices that help them navigate challenges without returning to addiction.

Purpose and Meaning
Beyond sobriety, men discover who they're meant to be. They find purpose in work, relationships, community service, and spiritual growth.

Our Commitment to Excellence

Trauma-Informed Care
We operate with confidentiality, respect, and sensitivity to each man's unique experiences. Every care plan is tailored to individual needs, acknowledging that trauma often underlies addiction.

Clear Boundaries and Accountability
Our sober, supportive community maintains consistent routines and expectations. This structure creates safety and demonstrates that reliable support systems are possible.

Recovery as a Journey
We celebrate small wins, acknowledge setbacks, and adjust supports to sustain momentum. There's no single finish line—recovery is an ongoing commitment that we honor at every stage.

The Ripple Effect

When one man breaks free from addiction, the impact extends outward:

Families find healing and hope

Employers gain reliable, motivated workers

Neighborhoods become safer and more connected

Churches and community organizations see their investment bear fruit
