HISTORY

Heartland House is a non-profit organization, which maintains and operates a residential facility dedicated to the rehabilitation of persons in the continuing process of recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction.

Heartland House was established January 4, 1960, and has been providing alcohol and drug recovery services for more than 40 years. We are an accredited Social Model Recovery Home, licensed by the State of California, Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs. Our facility has the capacity to accommodate 26 residents.

PHILOSOPHIES AND GOALS

The first tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous states “our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon AA unity.” Our program is based on the Twelve Step recovery concept. The program at Heartland House is organized as a social model program and since willingness and desire are necessary for any learning process, entrance to the program must be a voluntary act of the prospective resident.

The Heartland House Program Philosophy is threefold in its intent:

1. Provide a living environment conducive to continued sobriety.

2. Conduct an educational program that serves the newly recovering alcoholic/addict as a means for establishing a long-term support system.

3. Generate attitudes that enhance self- sufficiency, self-worth and an on-going quality of life.
