RESIDENCES
Volunteers for Recovery is designed to be a peer-supported community. We encourage our participants to build a supportive network in the recovery community and within the residence. These relationships can provide a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Many of these relationships will remain intact after you have completed the program.
Volunteers for Recovery represents the social model of a recovery home where the resident admits of their own volition and is guided and supported by their peers.
We believe in providing spaces both inside and outside the home where residents can congregate and socialize.
We pride ourselves on making the residence feel like a home, so the residents enjoy being there and find comfort in coming home after a long day at work. We want the homes to be our resident’s “safe space.”
