With the work on expanding Railroad Ave here, it can easily get confusing on how to access our Main Office. If you turn on N Hillcrest (right off Madison St.) just before you get to the train tracks, take that road and you're moments away from being here!

Thank you to all of our visitors and interested parties who are being patient with this process. Cooper Steel has communicated with us that the expansion should be completed within a few months.

“I really mean when I say my biggest fear in early recovery was that I would never have fun again. The beautiful truth is that recovery has given me freedom and the confidence to go out in the world and leave my own mark.” – Tom Stoddart

1 year of Lokey House!

A year of men walking through these doors choosing to fight for something better.

Lokey House was built to be more than a place to stay. It’s a safe, clean, structured home where action is required, accountability is expected, and growth is inevitable. And because of that, we’ve watched lives begin again.

We’ve seen men get jobs.
We’ve seen confidence come back.
We’ve seen people rejoin their families, their community… and truly rejoin the human race.

And the truth is.. this house carries a name we don’t take lightly.

Lokey House is named in honor of Tim Lokey, a Bedford County native who gave his all to this work. For decades, he poured his heart and soul into anyone who wanted recovery. He didn’t just talk about it — he lived it.

Tim embodied what a man in recovery should be.
He carried the message.
And no matter the hour… he showed up.

That’s the standard. That’s the legacy.
And that’s what lives on inside these walls every single day.

This past year has proven one thing: this works.
When you give people structure, support, and a real opportunity… lives can change.

To every man who has walked through Lokey House and put in the work — this is your story.
To everyone who has supported, believed, and stood beside us — thank you.

Year one was just the beginning!

- Sobriety delivers what addiction only promises -

"The better I felt with the drugs... the worst I felt without them." - Jason Coleman

Last night, at Recover Bedford's Community Meeting, one of our alumni sent everyone home with a POWERFUL Recovery testimony that everyone in the room felt.
Jason... you inspire, give of your time to those in need, and you make us proud of you and your recovery everyday.

Y'all know we believe in the power of community over here! We know firsthand that when people are given compassion, support, and the opportunity to grow, real change can happen. That’s why we're excited to support Recover Bedford and watch it grow and make positive (needed) impacts in Bedford County... where we are proud to call home! Come by and hang out with us next week!

Join us for a powerful evening of connection, hope, and community as we hear from a collective of organizations dedicated to providing recovery resources and support across Bedford County. Representatives from Tony Rice Recovery Center, Life Source, Brooks Healing Center, Be The Bush Ministries, Miriam House, and Hope Center Ministries will share about the help and hope available in our community.

The evening will also include a powerful testimony from a Shelbyville native sharing his personal recovery journey. Come connect, learn, and build relationships through networking, resource sharing, and refreshments provided.

Together, we can make recovery visible—and possible—for everyone.
