Our Mission:

Provide a positive, safe, peer-led, peer-driven, empowering Person-Centered environment. An

environment which is supportive of all pathways of Recovery for individuals to recover from active

substance use disorders and obtain the recovery skills to live a life free of chemical dependence.

SLV Recovery house(s) are safe, healthy, family-like substance free living environments that

support individuals in Recovery from substance use disorders/active addiction. Recovery housing benefits individuals in Recovery by creating a safe environment where change can occur, reinforcing a substance-free lifestyle, and direct connection to other peers in recovery through mutual support groups and support services.

• Respect for each person’s dignity and worth.
• Respect for a person’s gender, racial/ethnic, and cultural diversity.
• Recovery is personal, and therefore person-centered.
• Recovery is trauma-informed
• Recovery incorporates housing, employment, and social connections.

 Peer Support is integral to Recovery from addiction. The social model approach includes using

mutual support groups, involving residents in decision making and house governance, using lived personal recovery experience to help others, emphasizing Person-Centered Recovery Planning as an interaction between the individual and their environment. The physical environment, house meetings, Peer Support participation by all house members, and policies are all designed to foster the social model approach to Recovery.
