The GRR sees the beauty in disheveled houses, just as it sees the potential in the arriving residents. The GRR starts with the newly recovering addict’s desire to get clean and sober and builds from there, adding structure and new activities when the time is right, just as one adds brick and mortar when restoring the homes. In essence we are removing the rotted wood and replacing it with strong, sturdy new supports with our low cost drug rehab facilities. Both the person and the house are repairable, if the right care, tools and know how are applied. The GRR long term drug rehab addiction programs and long term alcohol rehab programs provide residents with 24/7 supervision from their initial immersion into the local Twelve Step community, right through to their seamless re-integration as happy and sober productive members of society.
