About Us
Welcome to Access & Care Recovery, your trusted partner in recovery-focused housing and sober living. We are dedicated to providing a safe, structured, and supportive environment for individuals seeking stability, healing, and long-term recovery.
At Access & Care Recovery, we understand that recovery is more than sobriety — it is about rebuilding lives, restoring hope, and creating a strong foundation for lasting change. Our homes are designed to offer a clean, secure, and nurturing space where residents can focus on their personal growth, free from the distractions and triggers that can hinder recovery.
We place a strong emphasis on safety, accountability, and quality care. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to maintain high standards of cleanliness, structure, and professionalism while fostering a welcoming and compassionate atmosphere. Residents are supported by trained staff and peer leaders who are committed to walking alongside them throughout their recovery journey.
We believe recovery is a holistic and individualized process. That is why we offer a supportive community environment that encourages responsibility, peer connection, and personal development. Through structured living, recovery planning, and connection to community resources, we help residents build the skills and confidence needed to thrive independently.
At Access & Care Recovery, every individual is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Whether you are beginning your recovery journey or continuing your path forward, we are here to provide the stability, guidance, and support you deserve.
If you or a loved one is seeking a safe and supportive recovery residence, we welcome you to contact us to learn more about our programs and how Access & Care Recovery can support your journey toward lasting recovery.
