AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES

At Healing Transitions, we’re all about freedom, dignity, and hope. We do this through a long-term recovery program, a non-medical detox and an overnight emergency shelter. We make it our mission to not define people by their problems; rather we see the actual person behind those problems. We’re here for all people, under the influence or not, and regardless of readiness for change. Because everyone needs a glimpse of hope to believe life can get better. And even one encounter with the 325+ people we serve every night might just save their lives. So, whatever brings them here, and however long they’re willing to stay, our doors are always open.
