Shepherd's House




The Shepherd's House long-term recovery housing program is a 12-18 month recovery program that combines supportive housing with outpatient counseling, peer support and targeted case management. The Shepherd's House Recovery Housing Program strives to assist residents in gaining daily living skills that empower them to take responsibility for their lives. We strive to create an atmosphere that is conducive to recovery and to establish a life-changing fellowship that will ultimately lead to a successful recovery and re-entry into the community. We believe the needs of individuals in recovery are best met through a healthy reliance on a peer support group, twelve-step programs and the concept of caring and sharing. In doing so we create a framework for a life that can be lived substance free and produce productive members of society.
Definition of Abstinence: Total abstinence from any mind altering substances.
