Francis Hurley House is a recovery residence which operates as a therapeutic community. The term therapeutic community means that much of the decision making power is in the hands of the women who live there. The principle of peers helping and supporting each other is one of the most powerful models of recovery.

At Francis Hurley House, this principle is practiced by placing the responsibility for each person's recovery with the individual and the group. Peers help each other as they help themselves. Decisions regarding privilege levels, discharges, etc are made by the residents as a group.

Each resident has a thorough assessment completed after admission and is assigned a primary counselor/case manager. There is no fixed length of stay at the residence. The length of stay can be as long as 90 to 120 days as needed to accomplish the treatment goals.

Our weekly fee of $110.00 covers room, board, and counseling. Drug screens are included. A drug screen is performed at admission and randomly or "for cause" during the stay.
