Residents also attend 12-step meetings and weekly Bible or recovery study, which we call Friday Night Light."

"When you reside at Izzy's House, you are never at a loss for companionship, accountability and fellowship. Our program is based on Celebrate Recovery, a successful Christian 12-step program that has helped countless people on the journey back from drug addiction, hurts, habits and hang-ups. After completing alcohol detox or treatment, this program can be an incredible foundation for a lifetime of sobriety. We also maintain accountability by asking our residents to obtain a sober friend and mentor/sponsor, and by performing regular drug and alcohol testing of all guests," he adds.

In addition to a beautiful place to live, Izzy's place features home amenities that residents can enjoy during their free time, such as wi-fi access, a house computer, Fios TV, and a large kitchen for guests to prepare their meals.
