Finding safe, sober homes for young adults in recovery can be tough, but it's crucial to end the cycle of addiction. That's why UT Health San Antonio is using state funding to strengthen recovery homes across San Antonio.
– Finding safe, sober homes for young adults in recovery can be tough, but it’s crucial to end the cycle of addiction.“I was adopted at a very early age of 8. Supposedly, I was sexually abused as a little girl and taken away,” she said.She then decided to leave that home and go out on her own. That’s when she fell into some dangerous situations.
The Texas Department of Health and Human Services awarded Be Well Texas $3.4 million to strengthen recovery housing for young adults aged 18-25. “Level two means that we have a recovery support peer specialist on staff, which is me,” Deborah’s House Director Ashley O’Leary said. “Those life skills may include employment readiness, GED education, healthy eating, home management and budgeting. And the homes also provide other essential social support,” Hamner said.
“We definitely want to be able to expand. We’re looking into some different properties as a board and trying to grow our organization,” O’Leary said.
