Welcome to Recovery House 

Recovery House is dedicated to the recovery of men whose lives have become unmanageable due to their addiction to alcohol and drugs. We understand the problems and the suffering the addict and their families are experiencing due to this devastating disease. We also understand the solution and offer hope to those who are tired of living in the problem and are willing to follow a simple plan of action to bring about change. 

Recovery House is a one-year Christ centered twelve-step program. The staff at Recovery House believes that a strong spiritual foundation is essential to an effective program of recovery. We do our best to instill Christian principles and use sound clinical instruction and the twelve steps to offer tools to aid in the recovery from addiction and life controlling issues. 

The old life has gone and the new life has begun.    2 Corinthians 5:17

About Us 

Recovery House is a therapeutic community that provides transitional housing for adult men with substance abuse problems.. We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization which has been helping men with substance abuse problems for over sixteen years. Recovery House provides a structured living environment and allows the resident to become involved in Bible Studies, Church Services, Addiction/Recovery Education, Individual and Group Counseling and Twelve-Step Meetings. The program helps to renew the residents sense of responsibility by following a daily schedule of work, household chores, and meetings. As the resident moves through phases of the program, they begin taking on more responsibility as leadership in the program to help further develop social skills and leadership qualities.

Our main facility is located at 591 Lake Minnie Drive in Sanford, Florida. Our facility is fully self supporting, therefore all the men are involved in a work enclave where they can enhance work skills or be trained for new ones. This work program teaches our residents greater responsibility and helps build a new work ethic while generating funds to support the program.
