About Raleigh Recovery House

A Place for Men to Rebuild, Recover, and Thrive

At Raleigh Recovery House, we believe recovery is about more than just staying sober—it’s about rediscovering purpose, community, and joy in everyday life. Located just ten minutes from downtown Raleigh, our men’s-only sober living home offers a peaceful, structured environment designed to support lasting recovery and personal growth.

Men’s-Only Sober Living: A focused, brotherhood-style environment for men who are serious about their recovery.

12-Step Based Program: Our approach centers around the principles of the 12 Steps, supported by daily practice and local AA meeting attendance.

Prime Location: Tucked away on a quiet acre just minutes from the city, residents enjoy a relaxed, peaceful setting with easy access to jobs, meetings, and community resources.

Small, Close Community: Everyone gets the support, connection, and accountability they deserve.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to provide a safe, supportive, and accountable space where men in recovery can strengthen their foundation for a sober life. Through structure, fellowship, and the 12 Steps, we help our residents build the habits and mindset needed for long-term success—both in sobriety and in life.

The Greatest Gift of Recovery is the Peace of Mind.

Our Home

Our home provides a cozy and inviting atmosphere, nestled amidst lush greenery and the soothing sounds of nature, yet conveniently located just a stone’s throw away from the vibrant heartbeat of downtown. This is a sanctuary designed for you to take a breath, rejuvenate your spirit, and foster meaningful connections—not only with yourself but also with others who share similar paths and experiences. Here, you can truly immerse yourself in tranquility while still being close to the lively energy and cultural offerings of the city.

Our Philosophy

At Raleigh Recovery House, we believe that a strong framework of structure and accountability is essential for fostering a supportive environment where residents can thrive. Our community is infused with laughter, companionship, and opportunities for personal growth, illustrating that life genuinely improves after achieving sobriety. Every expectation we set for our residents is rooted in our own journeys; we’ve navigated similar paths and understand the challenges they face. Our leadership team comprises individuals with firsthand experience in recovery, allowing us to connect authentically and empathetically with those we serve. Our dedication to the recovery process is not just a professional obligation; it is deeply personal, reflecting our shared commitment to healing and transformation.

A Note From the Founder

I have been in and out of many rehabs for years, and nothing changed for me until I lived at a sober living house. I got sober in Jersey City, NJ, and my living situation was nowhere near as nice as Raleigh Recovery House. I spent seven months on the top bunk in a dorm-style setting with 25 other men before moving to a room with six residents, for which I was very grateful. I walked to meetings and sometimes scraped together $1.50 to hop on the bus to downtown Jersey City for AA meetings. Attendance at these meetings was mandatory, and I was required to have a meeting sheet signed by the chairperson. During this time, I also attended IOP. To get to IOP, I had to wake up at 5:30 a.m., walk to the PATH train, take that to Newark, then transfer to NJ Transit, take the train to Elizabeth, NJ, and then walk 25 minutes to my destination. This entire process took almost two hours. I have remained sober since February 13th, of 2013.

I once heard someone say at a meeting, “I wasn’t drinking in the 3rd grade, but I could have used one.” It took me years to truly understand this. After working in the field as a case manager, doing outreach, and serving as the director of business development, I came to realize that alcoholism is not solely about alcohol, drugs, or gambling (I am speaking from my own experience). The real issue is the ‘ism’ that we suffer from—our Internal Spiritual Malady. The problem lies within ME, not in the external circumstances that we often blame.

If you are coming from an inpatient facility and seeking a sober living home, willing to do whatever it takes for your sobriety, and ready to prioritize your recovery above all else, then please call us. We have a zero tolerance policy. If you fail a drug test, refuse a drug test, or go off of Life 360, you will be completely removed and will have just 20 minutes to pack your things and leave. This may sound harsh, but for many of us, this is a matter of life or death. I have attended way too many funerals in the past 13 years.

If you try a little, I will help you a little. If you try really hard, are honest, and show a willingness to change, I will go above and beyond for you, just as others have done for me.
