Our Mission

Being a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our mission is to foster individual recovery based on the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, which if practiced as a way of life can expel the obsession to drink and enable the sufferer to become happy and usefully whole.

We believe that a stable environment is essential to lasting recovery. That’s why we go beyond just offering a place to stay. Residents are encouraged to take positive steps forward—finding and maintaining employment, saving part of their earnings, seeking medical care as needed, attending daily 12-step meetings, participating in service work, and working with a sponsor.

Our purpose is rooted in the time-honored tradition of one alcoholic helping another. We're here to be a steady hand during one of life’s most difficult transitions—offering structure, accountability, and community to men who are ready to rebuild.

At Charlie’s, recovery is just the beginning. We strive to create an environment where men can reclaim their independence, restore their dignity, and rediscover a sense of purpose. With compassion and guidance, we help lay the foundation for personal growth, essential life skills, and a renewed hope for a brighter future.
