The address is not published.

A Men's Recovery Home for Reentry and Recovery Together

Housing both populations under one roof is a deliberate choice. In practice the two overlap almost completely in South Carolina, where a large share of people leaving county jails are leaving with an untreated substance use disorder and no address to go to. A house that expects both arrives ready for the parole conditions, the reporting requirements and the employment barriers that come with a record.

Life Skills Inside a Sober Living Residence

The residence emphasizes equipping residents with practical life skills within a sober community, and frames the goal as resilience a man carries out with him. For someone who has spent years institutionalized or in active addiction, the ordinary mechanics of a lease, a bank account and a work schedule are the actual obstacles, and a house that teaches them is doing the part that determines what happens next.

Recovery Housing in North Charleston

North Charleston is the third largest city in South Carolina and the region's manufacturing and logistics center, with the port, major aerospace and automotive plants and Trident Technical College inside the city limits. Entry-level hiring is steady, the bus network runs the length of Rivers Avenue, and the Charleston County court and probation offices are close by, which matters for a resident under supervision.

What Certification Establishes for This Sober House

Certification under Act 160 of 2024 is what allows probation, the courts and state agencies to place someone here, and it commits the house to written fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, a published code of ethics, and complaints reviewed outside the household.
