Recovering Hands

Reclaim, Restore, Recover Here at Recovering Hands

Recovering Hands is dedicated to providing support and residential extended-care to women suffering the effects of substance abuse. Through working with a consistent advising team of peer recovery support specialists familiar with each resident, and with input from the community, residents learn to recognize and manage the symptoms of illness and the hallmarks of addiction, acquiring the tools to reduce the impact of these devastating forces on their lives.

Recovering Hands adheres to a professional competency standard and uses evidence based practice models in our program. Recovering Hands offers a safe recovery based living environment for women struggling with addiction and alcoholism, insulating them from the triggers that might otherwise pull them off their paths, giving them a chance to move into long-term recovery with a solid base in place.

The 150-acre farm at Breezy Hill is home to Recovering Hands. Breezy Hill has its roots in the Tobacco Industry. Reclaiming the Tobacco depleted land was the first stage in our vision to healing lives and families. In the second stage of our vision we built the foundation of what is now Recovering Hands. We began with two Tobacco Barns, and a Livestock Barn and now have a 30‘x60’ pavilion, one tobacco barn has been converted into a beautiful cabin which houses 4 residents, a bunkhouse which houses our overnight staff, a group room, a gym and a woodworking shop.

Thank you so much for sharing in our dream,
