About Stability First, Incorporated

Stability First, Incorporated is a Christian-centered sober living operator based in Martinsville, Indiana, running recovery housing across Morgan County.

A Morgan County Recovery Housing Provider

Stability First is a nonprofit sober living operator headquartered on West Morgan Street in Martinsville, the seat of Morgan County. Founded in 2015 out of what the organization describes as an overwhelming local need, it opened its first residential program the following year.

From One House to a Full Continuum of Care

Stability First opened Magdalene House, a women's recovery residence, in 2016, and expanded to men in 2025 with Foundations House. The organization has since added Healing Harbor, an engagement center it runs alongside its residential programs. That progression, from a single women's house to a broader continuum serving both genders plus a standalone engagement center, is a meaningful marker for referral sources: the operator has grown its footprint in Morgan County steadily since 2016.

Peer-Certified, Clinically Led Programming

Across its programs, Stability First staffs with Peer Recovery Certified employees, meaning every staff member brings personal recovery experience into daily work with residents. That staffing model runs alongside clinically led services, including Intensive Outpatient Therapy and case management, so residents in any Stability First program draw on both peer mentorship and licensed clinical oversight.

Christian Values as an Operating Framework

Stability First describes its mission and vision explicitly through a Christian lens, centering compassion, restoration and what it calls development over betterment. That framework runs through the organization's governance and its named programs, and a family or referring professional should expect the Christian orientation to shape daily programming directly.

Reaching Stability First in Martinsville

Stability First takes referrals and applications through its own intake process, and it maintains a residency waitlist across its programs. Referring professionals and families should ask which specific program fits a resident's gender and stage of recovery, since the organization now runs more than one residential option out of the same Martinsville headquarters.
