FAIRHAVEN HOUSE

Vision

The vision of Fairhaven House is to provide a clean and sober living environment for individuals recovering from substance abuse or other addictive behavior. Fairhaven House believes in not only providing a safe and healthy environment for recovery, but to help individuals work through the root issues behind their addictions.

Goals

• Provide a stable environment of love, encouragement, purity, and discipline
  
  
• Help members obtain and sustain a consistent form of education and employment until they are prepared to transition back into society more independently, where they can become responsible citizens and positive contributors to our communities. (We understand some individuals have disabilities that prevent them from working. They also are able to be a member of Fairhaven House and to walk in sobriety instead of 'self medicating'.)
  
  
• Disciple individuals who desire to know and follow Jesus Christ. (Fairhaven House is a faith-based program but does not require members to have any kind of religious affiliation.)
  
  
• Help members in discovering areas in which they can serve.
  

Function

At Fairhaven, we seek to accomplish the following with our members whom we serve:

• Provide low-cost housing with utilities included. Laundry service is available at no extra charge. 
  
  
• Hold weekly group meetings pertaining to sobriety and recovery.
  
  
• Pray regularly with and for our members.
  
  
• Teach and help members learn how to transition into independent living and effectively live and work with others. We accomplish this by program guidelines, a structured environment, an atmosphere of respect and honor, and by applying principles that will help individuals to grow spiritually.
  
  
• Encourage 12-step meetings, church attendance, and sponsorship/mentorship support to help meet their spiritual and emotional needs.
  
  
• Connect members to outside support services, treatment facilities, and counseling if needed.

He has had many challenges since his sobriety but he has handled quite well. Because of his work skills he has helped the owner of the houses to obtain more work which has brought income to the houses.
