Michael’s House

Our Belief in Recovery: A Foundation for Transformation

At our core, we believe recovery is attainable for anyone genuinely ready. This belief fuels our commitment to providing a nurturing environment where individuals can take significant steps toward a brighter future.

A Home for Healing and Growth

Our residences are not just houses; they are homes meticulously designed to offer a structured, safe, and drug-free haven. Rooted in a spiritual foundation, we embrace the profound principles of the 12 steps of recovery. Here, individuals discover a sense of belonging akin to a family experience, where mutual reliance in both joyous and challenging times is paramount.

Guidance and Mentorship for Lasting Recovery

Residents are encouraged to actively and ardently pursue their recovery journey with the support of a dedicated team of peer mentors who guide them within both group and one-on-one settings.

Structured Empowerment

A well-organized schedule paves the way for educational groups, personalized mentoring, moments of self-reflection, and the acquisition of essential life skills.

Accountability and Responsibility

In the realm of recovery, responsibility and accountability are pivotal. We firmly believe that each guest should be accountable for their actions and those of their housemates. Every community member is expected to engage in the structured activities provided by the house wholeheartedly.

Security and Vigilance

Our commitment to safety extends to round-the-clock surveillance systems and individualized keyless entry, ensuring the utmost security for each guest. Random drug and breathalyzer tests, administered without prior notice, further strengthen our resolve to promote a supportive, accountable, and secure environment for all who seek recovery within our homes.

The current fee schedule is $160.00 per week, to be paid in advance.

It's important to understand that our facility functions as a non-medical and non-clinical environment, accepting only private payments. Currently, we are unable to process insurance claims. For detailed information regarding our weekly fees, we recommend starting with an initial review and conversation. Additionally, there may be grant opportunities available through our partner organizations.
