Courage House
Proud Member:
Located at the heart of Gorham village, Courage House is a new community-oriented transitional living program for men in recovery who are reentering society from jails and prisons. Courage House's mission to provide a safe and supportive environment where residents can transition away from addiction and incarceration and grow toward developing a meaningful and productive life.
Courage House is a secular, MAT-friendly, professionally-supported, and resident-led program.
Please contact us to find out how much we are currently charging to live in the house. For those in need, special payment plans and charitable assistance may be available.
"Coming Home"
- A short film following a year in the life of a Courage House resident.
What we provide:
- 24 beds, all in comfortable, fully-furnished bedrooms.
- Two experienced resident leaders who work in collaboration with Rob Korobkin, the owner of the program.
- A large, modern, communal kitchen, complete with high quality appliances, condiments, and basic food staple items. Nobody here goes hungry!
- Courage House frequently collaborates with local behavioral health professionals, clinicians and case workers who work with residents to provide professional drug and alcohol counseling, targeted case management and medication management.
- We host frequent community events, including motivational speakers from the surrounding recovery community, group dinners, and financial literacy workshops. We are always looking for people to come in and share their experience, time and skills with the residents.
- Free laundry on premises.
What we expect:
- All residents are expected to avoid alcohol and illegal drugs. Random drug checks are performed. Any use of alcohol or illegal drugs will result in increased accountability and potential termination of residency.
- Residents are expected to obtain work, attend school and/or volunteer at least 20 hours per week within the first two weeks of residency.
- Residents will maintain good relations with their housemates, neighbors and their community as a whole.
- Attendance is required at both house meetings every week: a one-hour "business meeting" on Wednesday evenings and a one-hour "recovery meeting" on Sunday evenings that alternates between featuring guest speakers and group discussions.
- Residents are required to obtain a qualified counselor, case worker, 12 step sponsor or certified Recovery Coach within one week of arrival. We are always able to help new residents find the best support for them.
- Residents who have been prescribed cannabis to treat certain health conditions may do so, but they may not use combustible or smokable forms of cannabis, and they must do so discreetly. Residents who violate this policy will be asked to move on from the house.
