NONPROFIT SPOTLIGHT

Healing House KC

Who does your organization serve? Healing House serves adult men and women who are in recovery from substance use disorder (and some of their children).

What is your mission statement? Healing House, Inc. is a substance use disorder recovery organization. Our mission is to enrich the lives and spiritual well-being of all we serve and improve the safety and welfare of our community by equipping each participant with resources to maintain a healthy, self-sufficient, and purposeful life.

What is currently impacting your operation?

Continuing rise in opioid and fentanyl use creates a continuing increase in the demand for our services and our wait list is growing.
In addition state funding has been reduced and delayed in being paid out, which creates operation challenges.

What services are you providing?

  • Transitional living support to participants rebuilding their lives in recovery through a three-step process.
  • Outpatient Treatment is an intensive program conducted by professional counselors and peer mentors for our transitional living participants and other community members.
  • The Recovery Community Center is our commune hall where we offer resources to the entire community. Some of these resources include life-skills classes, relapse prevention, and family reunification.
  • The Community Outreach Center is also open to anyone in the community and hosts various meetings for those in recovery and their loved ones. Meetings offered include alcoholics anonymous, narcotics anonymous, bilingual recovery meetings and more.
