-Dexter House-
This house is dedicated to the memory and spirit of our friend Dexter Miller and the knowledge that he was able to find happiness in recovery before he left us on November 4, 2012. A dedicated group of recovering addicts along with members of the local community volunteered over 500 hours of labor refurbishing the house and furnishings. From planting a vegetable garden to refinishin
g the hardwood floors to the interior decor - we collaborated with one foal in mind - to provide a safe, secure and welcoming environment for all who live here.
-Who We Are-
Our experience in drug and alcohol addiction and recovery spans over 30 years. Our personal journey has included working with addicts and their family's to gain access to treatment and encourage supportive housing as a long term treatment option along with participation in a 12 Step Program.
-What We Do-
We believe that a supportive sober living environment is the long term solution to this lifetime disease. We have found that the longer an addict is able to stay in a recovering environment the better the chances of long term sobriety. We chose the location for the Dexter House because it is close to public transit, as well as employment and educational opportunities. We will assist in identifying job opportunities and application processes. Residents will be taught living skills such as gardening, cooking, couponning and budget management. We encourage continuing education and personal enrichment programs (community service, parenting classes, fitness and health and wellness programs).
-Why We Do It-
We bring a message of hope to addicts seeking recovery. Sharing our personal experience we are able to prove that sobriety can be achieved and maintained. They can recover from this disease and we will show them how to build a solid foundation for their future by creating a supportive environment that they can go on to be contributing members of society. WE BELIEVE THAT IN RECOVERY ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
