Hurley House

When a person has had a drinking problem or has developed an addiction to drugs for any length of time, they have adapted to a whole new negative and destructive lifestyle. They haven't been living life responsibly for a long time and no longer know how to deal with life on a daily basis clean and sober. It's even hard for a recovering addict to reconnect with family and loved ones sometimes because recovery is a process that takes time and understanding.

It's very difficult for a person once they stop drinking or using drugs to start living life all of a sudden without them even if they have received professional help for their addiction. It doesn't matter if a person had been able to remain employed while they were abusing drugs or alcohol either, returning back to work isn't an easy thing to do. The stress is often extremely overwhelming and it can actually be harder than it was before sobriety to maintain a job at first, especially during the early days of recovery.

Hurley House also provides their residents with the additional help, guidance, life-skills and positive support they need while learning to adjust to living their daily life clean and sober.

Thousands of men have received help from the Hurley House since 1973 and today, they continue to help men successfully adapt to a healthy substance free way of life and guide them through daily challenges.
