Structured Care in a Supportive Residential Setting
Howard House provides medium- and low-intensity residential treatment for adult men continuing recovery after detox. The program offers a full, structured daily schedule from morning lectures to evening self-help meetings, designed to reinforce accountability and community. Residents benefit from 24/7 staff support, clinically guided group and individual sessions, and ongoing case management that connects treatment goals with daily living skills.
Evidence-Based and Trauma-Informed Approach
Treatment integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, 12-step facilitation, and trauma-related counseling. Each client receives comprehensive assessments for substance use and mental health needs. Services also address co-occurring disorders and trauma histories, with additional support for veterans, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and those affected by violence or abuse. Testing and monitoring help ensure accountability and reinforce recovery progress.
Practical Supports for Long-Term Stability
Beyond therapy, Howard House emphasizes real-world recovery. Residents receive help with employment readiness, housing, transportation, and educational or vocational development. Health education includes HIV and hepatitis prevention, overdose response with naloxone, and tobacco cessation. Peer mentoring, recovery coaching, and self-help group connections strengthen the social support essential for lasting recovery. Discharge planning begins early to ensure a smooth transition back into community life.
Coordinated Care and Welcoming Environment
Howard House welcomes residents who use medications for addiction (MAT) treatment prescribed elsewhere, such as oral naltrexone for opioid or alcohol use disorders. The setting offers access to nature, shared rooms, and practical amenities like a kitchenette, air-conditioned spaces, a relaxation lounge, and nutritious meals. As part of the non-profit Tuerk House network, Howard House extends a continuum of compassionate, affordable care focused on rebuilding health, independence, and community connection.

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
