HOW WE HELP

The Refuge Way

The Refuge provides you a safe place to process, address, and overcome the underlying issues fueling your addictive behavior. According to a third-party survey of our alumni, 66 percent had remained clean, sober, and free from the compulsion to drink or use drugs since completing The Refuge.


The Refuge is a peer-run organization offering one-on-one and group sessions with licensed counselors, a workforce development program, and a network of support to prepare you for success.
