Your Foundation for Lasting Recovery
Our residential programs provide men with the structure, community, and support needed to build new life foundations while developing the skills for successful independence.
Two Programs, One Goal
Recovery is a journey that needs different levels of support. Our progressive residential plan meets men where they are and guides them toward independence through community connection and proven structure.
Entry Level Program
Our foundational program houses up to 14 men in a structured environment designed to establish stability and accountability. You'll work a full-time first shift job, attend five 12-step meetings per week, and connect with an experienced sponsor within five days through our "First Things First" program.
Living with housemates builds community while daily chores develop responsibility. The weekday evening meal and following programming builds a weekly rhythm of community and relationship building. Most residents stay 9 months to 2 years, using this time to heal, grow, and establish new life patterns.
Three-Quarter House Program
This advanced program offers increased independence for men ready for more responsibility. You'll enjoy a midnight curfew with front door access, weekend passes, and reduced meeting requirements (four per week of your choice).
Enhanced privileges come with greater accountability as you practice independence skills while maintaining community support. Many men use this time to save money, strengthen relationships, and build confidence for independent living.
Community Integration
From day one, you're part of Hickory's recovery community, not isolated from it. You'll attend meetings alongside experienced community members, building the relationships that support lasting recovery. As you progress, leadership opportunities help develop confidence and communication skills.
Work and Life Skills
Full-time employment provides purpose, income, and structure. We offer transportation support and job placement assistance to remove barriers to success. As you progress in the program, additional advanced life skills opportunities become available to further support your long-term success.
Your Investment
Our entry program fees are $200 per week with an initial $400 payment. This covers housing, meals, transportation support, and all programming. Payment assistance is available for those facing financial challenges.
Ready to Begin?
Men who succeed in our programs share one thing: genuine readiness and willingness for change. If you're willing to commit to transformation, we can provide the foundation you need for lasting recovery.
