There is no “typical profile” of the people who come through our doors…from the just sober, living in a halfway house, to the person with long time recovery. Alcoholism, addictions and co-dependency do no discriminate on the basis of age, race, creed, education or socio-economic status. Some have been involved in 12 step programs to maintain sobriety for decades, others are living in a current, sometimes dangerous crisis situation. It is a home away from home, a safe haven free from drugs and alcohol in a non-judgmental supportive, atmosphere. All come to find the experience, strength and hope in fellowship with others.
