Recovery · Unity · Service

A dedicated path to lasting recovery.

The three sides of the recovery triangle guide life in our home. Together they turn a house into a fellowship, and sobriety into a way of living.

Recovery

A structured, substance-free environment anchored in the Twelve Steps of AA — regular meetings, sponsorship, and accountability that keep recovery at the center of daily life.

Communal Living

Shared meals, shared chores, and shared goals. Residents live with purpose in a clean, comfortable home where structure and mutual respect create real stability.

Fellowship

No one recovers alone. Our residents lean on one another and on the wider recovery community, building the honest relationships that make lasting change possible.

About the Home

A home built on hope and hard-won experience.

Heart's Recovery Residence was founded on a simple belief: that people recovering from alcoholism and addiction do best in a safe, supportive home surrounded by others walking the same road. Grounded in the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, we offer more than a place to stay — we offer structure, accountability, and genuine fellowship.

Residents keep to a daily rhythm of recovery: attending meetings, working the steps with a sponsor, contributing to the household, and supporting one another through the ups and downs of early sobriety. It is a place to rebuild trust, routine, and self-respect.

The Path to Recovery

It starts with self-evaluation.
