Recovery Homes

Our Recovery Homes provide men and women, age 18 and older, a safe and structured living environment that supports their recovery efforts.  Each recovery home (a five-bedroom women's home and five-bedroom men's home) provides a drug and alcohol-free homelike environment for individuals who are self-sustaining but require a minimal level of support and assistance to maintain recovery from alcohol and/or drug abuse.  Each recovery home operates 24 hours per day, seven days a week, with a program designed to maximize opportunities for employment, education, health, recreation, family and social relationships, and overall living skills.  An on-call clinician is available 24-hours/day.

Clients must have an assessment indicating ASAM 2.1 or 3.1 level of service by a treatment provider within the state, with priority going to those clients coming from the northeast region, or by an outpatient treatment provider from the northeast region.  Referrals should be directed to Maureen Hattervig 307.673.2510 / mhattervig@voanr.org.
