Integrated Care of Greater Hickory (ICGH) is helping individuals struggling with substance use disorder find stability and support through its recovery housing initiatives. Amy Drum, a resident at one of their homes, has found solace in the quiet country setting while on her journey to recovery. With the support of ICGH and organizations like the Housing Assistance Council (HAC), individuals like Nathan Prentice and Luke Laudermilk have been able to find stability in recovery housing and build a strong support system to aid in their sobriety.
ICGH’s approach to recovery housing focuses on providing a safe and comfortable environment for individuals to focus on their recovery, recognizing housing as a foundational element for successful rehabilitation. With a staff largely made up of individuals who have overcome substance use disorder themselves, the organization offers peer support and assistance tailored to each individual’s needs.
Through partnerships with organizations like HAC, ICGH has been able to expand its recovery housing program and provide essential support services to those in need. By offering affordable housing options and promoting collaboration at the community level, these organizations are helping individuals find stability and build a successful path to recovery.
As individuals like Drum, Prentice, and Laudermilk continue on their journey to sobriety, ICGH and other organizations are working to address the shortage of recovery housing in rural communities, ensuring that individuals facing substance use disorder have access to the support they need to reclaim their lives.
