Real Stories. Real Recovery.

I was in and out of treatment for years. I found out how to love myself and the world around me again. This place and the people here saved my life when nothing else could. I was given the tools and the knowledge of how to use them here. I've been sober over 2 years now! Thank you Discovery Place!!!
I am so grateful to Discovery Place for helping my son. He went there thinking he would stay for 30 days to get sober and has now stayed for 13 months and counting. He speaks so highly of DP and now lives in their sober living house while working at DP. His transformation has been miraculous thanks to the program and the fine men who work there.
They didn’t just help me stop using—they built the foundation that keeps my recovery strong long after leaving. Surrounded by compassionate people, I felt truly supported through the tightrope walk that is early sobriety.
Discovery Place changed my life. It gave me not only the tools but also the hope to live one day at a time. The staff and community helped me see life from a new perspective and reminded me that I’m never alone on this journey. I’ll always be grateful for the support, love, and guidance I found there.
Staffed by Men in Recovery — Because We’ve Been There
Every staff member at Discovery Place is a man in active recovery. Many were once guests here themselves. We know what it’s like to walk in unsure, afraid, and exhausted. That shared experience creates trust you can feel from the first conversation.
