about us

          We established our organization in January of 2012 and are continually expanding. Currently we own and manage seven recovery houses in Macomb County.  We help individuals affected by substance use disorders live a life of recovery, growth, productivity, and healing.  Our staff members and mentors provide a service plan with experience, insight, and encouragement along the way in the journey of early recovery.

          Our homes are safe havens, managed and monitored for long term recovery. We teach individuals how to live without mind and mood-altering substances. We provide our residents with the policies and living arrangements necessary for the cultivation of recovery. We help the individual develop a plan for a strong foundation for themselves and to commit to remaining drug and alcohol free.

          In 2016, we established our non-profit organization, Live Rite Structured Recovery Corp. Our mission is to reduce the stigma and provide resources, education, and funding to the person and their families seeking recovery from active addiction. We have since obtained and opened a Residential Recovery Resource Center (RRC) in Macomb County that services the recovery community and the general public in Metro Detroit.  This is where we provide housing, job placement, substance abuse programming, education, and other assistance such as a food pantry and resale shop.
