TODAY
The Refuge Recovery Center was founded to ensure that individuals facing substance use disorders, homelessness, and medical challenges have access to compassionate care and a safe place to heal. We recognized a critical need for services that bridge the gap between healthcare, recovery, and housing, helping people rebuild their lives with dignity and support. The Refuge provides inpatient substance use disorder treatment, recuperative care, and short-term post-hospitalization services for individuals transitioning from hospitals or seeking recovery. Through personalized care, evidence-based practices, and a commitment to community, we help people achieve stability, healing, and long-term success.
