Courage House

Mark Storms

"My clean date is September 17, 2019. I came to the Courage House in September of 2019 because I knew if I kept living the lifestyle of drinking and drugging, I would soon be in jail AGAIN, or even worse, I was going to die. I have been an addict and alcoholic for over 30 years. I tried every known method to try and drink and drugs successfully, but I always ended up with the same results…. homeless, penniless, institutionalized, hospitalized, or in jail. I had been to 11 other rehabs, halfway houses, detox centers, and treatment centers, but I would only stay clean and sober for a few weeks at the most, and I was miserable the whole time. When I found the Courage House, I thought it would be just another place to dry me out for a few weeks, but something happened to me that I didn’t expect, and that was when I found some people who actually cared about my wellbeing. I wasn’t treated like an inmate, a social piranha, or a low-life drug addict/alcoholic. The Courage House took me by the hand and walked me through their program. They explained every step of the process, they had patience and understanding, and most of all they loved me until I could love myself. The Courage House has changed my life in the most positive ways. Since I became a resident of the Courage House, I went back to college and received my certification as a Substance Abuse Counselor and Peer Recovery Coach II. As of May 2024, I have earned a Bachelor's degree in social work with a concentration in Addiction. The Courage House saved my life; it gave me a sense of pride, self-worth, and purpose in life. The Courage House changed my life so much that I am not just a resident I am now the owner. If you or someone you know needs help with a drug or alcohol addiction, please call us. What have you got to lose? "If you’re not happy with your recovery within 30 days, then we will gladly refund your misery back to you."
