Our Values & Beliefs: Care, Compassion and Community
ON CARE
We believe that chemical dependence is a serious disease and that abstinence from alcohol and drugs is just the beginning. Healthy and continuous sobriety requires real change and a transformation in attitude and outlook on life. At Herbert House we care for and nurture our residents as they develop the necessary skills to build a rich, full and balanced sober life. We help them find the courage to change those beliefs and behaviors that no longer fit the person they want to be.
ON COMPASSION
We believe that reflection brings clarity and that recovery provides an opportunity for individuals to embrace their own uniqueness through honest self examination and an inventory and accounting of one’s soul, both liabilities and assets. At Herbert House, we judge no one. Through compassion and empathy, we open our hearts to each individual’s pain, struggles, disappointments and inadequacies and share in their spiritual journey to explore and find their infinite potential. In doing so, we encourage each resident to be proactive and accountable for their recovery and to address their challenges by tapping into their inner strengths and resources.

ON COMMUNITY
We believe that lasting, emotional sobriety cannot be achieved alone. At Herbert House you will find a family of individuals committed to a “we” program of recovery and who work together to create a sober living environment conducive to growth, support and accountability. Our alumni return year after year to celebrate sobriety milestones and to support residents new in their sobriety journeys. At Herbert House we offer a lifelong extended recovery family and a place where pride and dignity are restored.
