WHO WE SERVE
PEOPLE IN RECOVERY
Living in a recovery residence is crucial for maintaining sobriety and fostering personal growth. Our homes offer a structured, drug-free environment that supports individuals in overcoming addiction. They provide a sense of community and accountability, essential for rebuilding lives. With access to counseling, peer support, and skill-building opportunities, recovery residences help individuals develop coping strategies and establish a stable foundation for long-term recovery and well-being.
We want to help set people up for success in life after addiction, which involves reclaiming one's identity and pursuing a fulfilling future. Many people find success by leveraging their experiences to help others, whether
through mentorship, advocacy, or peer support.
VETERANS WITH HOUSING INSECURITY
Veterans transitioning from military life often face unique challenges, including addiction. Sober housing provides a stable, supportive environment crucial for their recovery. It offers a structured space free from triggers, fostering a sense of community and accountability, and helping veterans rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose.
Unfortunately, up to two-thirds suffer from substance abuse problems, and many from dual diagnosis
We want to help our Veterans and be there for them, just like they were there for us when they volunteered to help protect and serve our country.
Justice Involved / Re-entry
Transitioning from incarceration to a sober home represents a pivotal opportunity for rebuilding life and achieving lasting recovery. This shift provides a structured, supportive environment essential for reintegration, offering a safe, drug-free space where individuals can focus on their recovery journey. Sober homes typically offer counseling, support groups, and practical resources that help residents navigate the challenges of reentry. By fostering accountability, personal growth, and new coping strategies, these homes facilitate a smoother transition, promoting stability and a renewed sense of purpose. This supportive foundation is crucial for successfully overcoming past challenges and building a healthier, more fulfilling future.
Our Mens House in Maplewood
We have recently opened "Peace House". It is a men's sober living home in Maplewood, MN, close to many resources and conveniences.
We are offering a home in the eastern Suburbs that is away from the busyness and growing crime of the
downtown areas of St Paul and Minneapolis.
The home is smaller, offering a more family-like environment, with a maximum of (6) six residents.
We believe this offers those seeking more of a quiet, sanctuary environment, the ideal place to heal and grow in your recovery.
We are right next to a church, in fact, "Peace House" is the parsonage, the former home of the pastor many years ago. The church is very supportive and hopes many life's will be blessed. Spanish speaking AA classes are held there. However, there is no requirement or pressure to be involved with the church. It is entirely up to the individual.
