Two Properties One Mission

Addiction is a disease of isolation. As the alcoholic/addict becomes more ensnared by his addiction, he removes himself from community and relationships (family, friends, work). At Addison House we seek to challenge this pattern and lead our residents back to lives of lasting meaningful relationships. All of our residences are single family homes with shared living spaces (living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, outdoor BBQs and firepits). TVs are in the living rooms not the bedrooms so residents learn to relax together. By sharing these common spaces, they begin to recover the skills of communal living and healthy boundaries. Through house chores and weekly House meetings, residents learn to become accountable to each other for the maintenance of their common living spaces.
