Our Charter
Prospect House is a residential treatment and recovery center for
alcoholic and chemically dependent men who are without the money,
insurance or other resources to enter hospital-based programs.
Prospect
House furnishes the necessities of life to these men while they actively
seek a new way of life marked by sobriety and self-support.
The
residents of Prospect House live in an alcohol and drug free environment,
and participate in individual and group counseling. Alcoholics Anonymous
meetings are held on the premises, and residents freely attend as part of
their own personal recovery.
We hope to
lighten the burden for these men, to bring sobriety within reach, and
help rekindle dignity and self-respect.
Fast Facts
- Nearly
1,000 people attended the two Christmas Parties at the House.
- Approximately
2,400 recovering people attended the Black Support Picnic at Sharon
Woods last June.
