The Gaal House

About The Gaal House

The Gaal House provides recovery housing in Memphis, Tennessee, offering a structured, supportive sober living environment for men who are rebuilding their lives after alcohol and drug addiction. The program’s mission is centered on creating and maintaining a sober, safe, and spirit-filled home where residents can transition from treatment into stable community living. The Gaal House was founded in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and focuses on the whole person—supporting men’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs while they work toward long-term sobriety and productive independence. 

Located in the Memphis area near the Hacks Cross corridor, The Gaal House is positioned with access to everyday essentials and local recovery resources that can help residents stay connected to the supports they need. While living at the home, residents are expected to engage in recovery and responsibility: the program states that men are required to attend AA meetings and work toward obtaining employment, while also participating in supportive services such as life-coping skills, job training, and substance abuse counseling. This approach reflects structured sober living, helping residents build routines and practice accountability in a real-world setting while still receiving guidance and encouragement. 

As a men’s sober house, The Gaal House emphasizes continuity of care after rehab—creating a transitional space where daily structure, peer support, and individualized attention come together. The goal is not only to maintain sobriety, but to help each resident strengthen life skills and financial management so they can return to their communities with confidence. In addition to resident programming, the organization notes that donations help provide practical needs such as housing, food, transportation, clothing, and counseling—reinforcing the home’s mission to reduce barriers that often challenge early recovery. 

Key recovery-focused elements highlighted by The Gaal House include:

• A sober, safe environment for men in recovery

• Required engagement with AA meetings and employment search/maintenance

• Support services such as life-coping skills, job training, and substance abuse counseling

• A culture of structure and accountability consistent with quality recovery housing 

The Gaal House is also listed as a TN-ARR Certified Organization in Shelby County, signaling alignment with Tennessee’s recovery residence quality standards through the state’s NARR affiliate.
