How It Works…

Protective

Home
Structure

Life at a ‘Well home’ is built around steady routines, shared responsibilities, and a peaceful home environment. Residents are expected to participate in house meetings led by a live-in house leader and commit to chores. It is equally important to also respect the house rhythm, communicate clearly, and help protect a culture of sobriety, safety, and mutual respect.

Personal

Accountability

Residents are expected to stay engaged in community and follow house expectations, contribute to the home, and communicate honestly when challenges come up. Accountability here is practical and supportive: clear expectations, consistent follow-through, and help getting back on track.

Proactive

Community Connection

We believe people heal best in community. Residents stay connected to the local supports that strengthen daily life. This may include recovery meetings, outpatient care, employment resources, transportation planning, church or community support, and other appropriate local services. We are also proactive about bringing community support into the home on a regular basis. We are a peer-led tier II structured home who prioritizes strong community connection.

  • Each bed comes furnished with a comforter, pillow and sheets.

    We offer single and shared furnished rooms with access to common living spaces, kitchen basics, laundry, and outdoor areas. The home is designed to feel calm, simple, and lived-in while supporting residents with life skills that will serve them well beyond their time in our home.

  • Included: Water, gas, electric, garbage and internet.

    All utilities are included, along with basic household cleaning supplies for shared spaces. Residents are responsible for their own personal items, transportation, food arrangements unless otherwise stated, and any outside recovery, medical, or counseling costs.

  • Meaningful Life Skills Support

    The Well actively seeks volunteers to offer a rotating schedule of classes that may include topics like optional life skills, peer support, personal growth, wellness, budgeting, job readiness, home management, and recovery-support classes. These offerings are educational and provided based on available volunteer support.

    We are always looking for volunteers and resources so please connect us if you know of any!

    We do not provide clinical treatment, therapy, medical care, counseling, diagnosis, detox, case management, or any licensed professional services. Residents who need those services are encouraged to work with qualified outside providers.

  • The Well creates an ecosystem around every well house of the local churches, ministries, non profits, businesses and people that have a heart to offer real support to the people we serve.
