There are 227 people who reside at recenter Houston. We offer 40 twelve-step Recovery Meetings each week that are attended by residents and non-residents. All in recovery strongly believe that they receive help from our counselors and from association with their peers and have agreed to share their recovery stories. Many of them realize for the first time that an escape from drug and alcohol addiction is possible. Participants who have attained sobriety tell them “you can kick your habits. It’s not easy but I did it and so can you.”

recenter Houston has fees for residency but not for program participation. We rely on donations from friends and the community for funding. These donations make the stories below possible. As you listen to the stories please notice the individual’s pride in becoming addiction free. And think of the value that this accomplishment brings to the individual and to our city.

All here have a personal story of recovery to tell and all are different. Here are several that have volunteered to share their stories. More stories are coming.
