Who We Serve

Our monitored recovery residences are peer run with senior resident onsite, offering peer-to-peer support.

  • Emphasis on peer support and accountability.
  • Residents required to follow house rules, curfews, drug/alcohol testing, and attend recovery meetings.
  • Recovery support accessible through Journey House Foundation RCO. Clinical treatment and services are available through Journey House Behavioral Health offsite.

Testimonials

Lives Transformed Through Journey House Recovery Center

Journeys of Hope

I moved to the Journey House about 10 months ago. I was given the opportunity to manage one of the houses, my life has changed tremendously. I came from a family of alcoholics and addicts. I truly thought that my life was never going to be any different. Coming here was one of the best decision of my life.I have learned to build relationships with other women, learned to love myself as well as others recovering addicts. I am learning to trust again and that people do truly care. My life has completely turn around because of this program. I just want to say thank you for all u do. I love you guys.

Journeys of Hope

Journey House literally saved my life. It helped me first decide I not only NEEDED sobriety, but that I actually WANTED it. Then after realizing I wanted sobriety, Journey House helped me learn how to be clean. They’ve taught me how to live and be happy and act as a functioning adult. I’ve accomplished things in my life I never thought possible … I’ve been to multiple rehabs, multiple recovery houses, and tried multiple outpatient programs, and nothing has made an impact on me the way Journey House has. I thank God everyday for this program. I HIGHLY recommend for any addict suffering from this disease who wants to learn a new way of life.

Journeys of Hope

For 2 years I lived in a JH recovery house, and was encouraged, challenged, and supported as I learned a completely new way to live…The founder, Mike, and his wife, treated me like a family member, and still take time to encourage me regularly. I have a life worth living again. I get to be a parent again, and a friend, and a son, and a productive member of society. Best of all, I have self worth, for the first time. –
