About Heartland House

Heartland House helps men recovering from substance use disorders and related co-occurring conditions. The program provides a safe place to live that supports recovery and independence. It also runs classes that help residents build strong support networks and improve their self-confidence and quality of life. The program has two homes—a 20-bed recovery house and an 8-bed sober living facility—and serves about 28 men at a time.
The program focuses on individual care to help men understand addiction and learn healthy ways to cope. Residents work closely with counselors to make recovery plans that fit their personal goals. The program uses up-to-date research and serves many veterans, with many referrals coming from the Veterans Administration (VA) and other local health services.
Key parts of the program include the 12-step approach, counseling, relapse prevention, and education about substance use. Residents also take part in family therapy, anger management, and group activities to build sober friendships. Based on each person’s needs, they may get cognitive-behavioral therapy or medication support, plus help moving into sober living homes after residential treatment.

State government. Primary focus: substance use treatment, treatment for co-occurring substance use plus either serious mental health illness in adults/serious emotional disturbance in children.
