Who we serve............. Recovering Alcoholics and Drug Addicts referred by:
OBrien House is a six month program. We provide support services for clients as they transition from inpatient treatment into independent living. It is our belief that intermediate care services increase the effectiveness of treatment programs for substance abuse and that the percentages of individuals remaining in recovery is increased by living in a structured and protected environment during the first six months of recovery.
