About Healing Properties

Healing Properties is a sober living operator in Delray Beach, Florida, running men's recovery housing in Palm Beach County under founder John T Hood for more than twenty-two years.

A Long-Running Delray Beach Sober Living Operator

Healing Properties has operated in Delray Beach for over two decades, a tenure that sets it apart in a recovery housing market where many operators come and go within a few years. That longevity has built relationships with local courts, employers and treatment providers that a newer operator simply has not had time to develop.

Daily Structure and Accountability

The organization runs its housing on daily 12-step meeting attendance, a requirement to secure a sponsor and find work within the first two weeks, random urine and breath-alcohol testing, and evening accountability check-ins. Weekly group meetings give residents a structured space to work through personal challenges as they come up.

Family Engagement as Part of the Program

Healing Properties maintains a resource built specifically for mothers and family members, an unusual level of attention to family involvement in a field where communication with families is often an afterthought.

Serving Palm Beach County's Recovery Corridor

Delray Beach anchors one of the densest recovery communities in Palm Beach County and in the country, and Healing Properties' housing sits inside that network of outpatient providers, 12-step meetings and sober homes clustered around the city's downtown.

Voluntary Certification for Florida Sober Homes

Florida's certification for recovery residences runs through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences and is voluntary. Anyone evaluating Healing Properties should ask the operator directly which of its properties currently carry that certification.

Reaching Healing Properties in Delray Beach

Prospective residents and their families apply directly through the organization. Worth asking: how the two-week job and sponsor requirement is enforced in practice, what the evening check-in process looks like, and how family members can stay involved once a resident moves in.
