Stabilization Housing Program
The Stabilization Housing Program offers rapid, short-term stabilizing housing for adults of all genders.
What is it?
Stabilization is a community-style transitional housing program for adults who are presently experiencing a substance dependence/use disorder, but are not currently intoxicated and not requiring detoxification services. They are seeking care for their substance use and may be awaiting or in between services on the treatment/recovery continuum. They require rapid, short-term stabilizing housing that includes support in order to move towards their next step on the recovery continuum.
