To every single person who stepped up with compassion, generosity, and love—thank you. Your continued support and dedication truly make a difference in the precious lives of the men we serve.

Because of your kindness, we now have enough blankets and comforters to keep everyone snug, warm, and cared for during the cold months ahead. What a blessing you all have been.

We are beyond grateful—but as always, continued support helps us keep meeting the needs of the men who walk through our doors. The best way to support us moving forward is through our Amazon Wish List or by mailing a check. All mailed donations receive a thank-you letter for tax purposes.

Your compassion keeps hope alive here every single day.
Thank you for being part of our mission

Friends, we could really use your help. As the temperatures drop, we are in great need of comforters (twin size or larger). Many of the men who arrive here come with little more than the clothes on their backs—and something as simple as a warm blanket can mean the world to someone starting over.

If you’re able to help, comforters can be purchased from Amazon, Walmart, Roses, or anywhere convenient and dropped off at our main facility.

Your generosity helps us wrap each new man in warmth and dignity as he begins his recovery journey. Every donation, every act of kindness, truly matters.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for helping us help them. ❤️

Breaking stigma starts with compassion, understanding, and honest conversation. When we choose to see the person instead of the label, we create space for healing and hope. Every time we speak up, listen without judgment, and treat others with dignity, we chip away at the walls that shame and silence have built. Together, we can replace stigma with support—and remind one another that recovery, growth, and change are always possible.

Meet MIKEY! How do we sum up this guy, who we all love so dearly? We’ll start by saying this.. the field can be chaotic sometimes. Many days it is Mikey that serves as the glue that holds us together. Not only is he always there for his coworkers, but he often does the work that keeps everything running smoothly. Everything from making sure every client makes their appointments on time, has their medications properly bubble packed, to one of his favorite things, welcome the new client to our facility, making sure they feel the love from the moment they walk through the doors. Mikey has worked so hard for his new life. And all of us could not be more proud of the man he is today!

“My name is Michael Vickers. But everyone calls me Mikey. I was in active addiction for 22 years of my life. Today, I'm 4 years into my recovery! When I first walked in the doors of Tony Rice Recovery Center, I had absolutely no hope. I had no feelings for myself, let alone anyone else. I felt completely and utterly broken.

TRC quite literally loved me back to life.

Four years now I've been working for this place that restored my feelings for myself and my fellow man, brought me out of my own mental prison, and most importantly restored my hope… I learned how to love myself. I learned how to be more independent, more responsible, and understanding. I learned how to cherish the little things and learn that I can overcome ANYTHING that I put my mind to. And I’ve worked my way up from a BHT to Case Manager here!

Watching all my guys grow just how I once did, seeing that little light in their eyes start to flicker, watching them evolve into better people, it’s what this is all about. Tony Rice Center, I love you. You’ve turned my whole life around.”

Meet Alex, one of our amazing Behavioral Health Technicians, who aspires to be a Licensed Counselor one day. Alex is always willing to lend a hand for business development and loves all things recovery, from learning and researching neuroscience and chemical releases, to hitting recovery fests with our squad and talking about TRC. Alex is also the man behind making sure each client gets a telehealth visit with their loved ones on the weekends, ensuring every man gets to have that experience is something he loves doing. Alex recently celebrated his of recovery, and we couldn’t be more proud of him.

“So my story of addictions began like most, severe abandonment issues topped with crippling attachment problems to a life sewed into a lie with a giant bow on top disguised as freedom. If only I would've known that "freedom" I was feeling would turn into the chains that had held me down for many years of my not so long life. Twenty seven years I've been alive, but a decade of them was spent battling a hard fight. No matter how bad it got it, the pain was of absolute no consequence to the light a small amount of recovery could bring. I came to the Tony Rice Center for a fresh start after many rehabs. I found a home, a family, amazing friends. Above all I found the cornerstones of my foundation. The relationships I built in this place are ones that I know whole heartedly will last a lifetime time. Thank you TRC, for being my light at the end of a very dark tunnel."
