Care for Adult Men in Recovery

Many residents join after completing a detox or rehabilitation program to strengthen their recovery in a supportive living setting.

Understanding the Payment Structure

There is no insurance billing or clinical billing as the home does not provide medical or therapy services. Instead, it operates on a resident-funded model where each member pays an Equal Expense Share (EES).

This weekly or monthly cost covers rent, utilities and other shared household expenses. This makes it a cost effective, self-supported housing solution.
