Road to Recovery
Many people turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with life pressures, which can lead to dependency and loss of job, home and family. In other words, life becomes unmanageable. That’s why there are so many homeless persons with chemical dependency issues, many of whom live with mental illness as well. The first step in recovery is overcoming addiction and achieving sobriety. However, that is not the only step. Road to Recovery offers transitional housing and a chance to build a strong foundation while learning an independent and sober lifestyle.
Road to Recovery houses 17 adults, providing a safe and sober environment with on-site support 24/7. Program staff links tenants with community services to help them achieve their goals, which may include:
- GED, technical, college study
- Transportation to school or work
- Job training and placement
- Resume and interview coaching
NPI provides this program in partnership with the Mental Health & Recovery Services Board of Lucas County, COMPASS and the Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority.
