A residential sober living facility.

Beacon House was founded in 1997 to provide men suffering from alcohol and drug addiction with a safe, structured and accountable living environment.  We are the next step after treatment on the recovery continuum of care for individuals seeking long-term recovery support in the community. Our goal is to return men to a sober, independent and productive life.  We use a transitional living model and provide residents in their first year of sobriety assertive referrals to intensive outpatient treatment (IOP), life skills education and case management, and peer support. Beacon House has played a critical role in the success of thousands of people in their path to recovery.

Our Residents Need Your Help

A safe and comfortable place to live is vital to every human, but that’s especially true on the journey of recovery from substance use. Every resident in our program is starting a new life of sobriety. You can support them in this transformation!

Would you consider sponsoring a room or helping us furnish one? Our residents’ rooms haven’t been updated in years. We also experienced fire and subsequent flooding recently. It’s our goal to take in more residents in 2024; that’s why this project is more important than ever!

Each room provides a safe space for 3 men and the cost to remodel and furnish a room is around $15,000.

We’re honoring every room sponsor with a dedicated plaque outside your room. What a great way to leave a legacy with your life or the life of a loved one!
