Who We Serve
Different Paths. A Shared Commitment to Progress.
Harborstone serves adults age 18 and older who are committed to recovery and need a safe, structured, substance-free environment while building greater stability and independence.
People seek recovery housing for many different reasons and through many different pathways. Some are leaving a more intensive setting. Others are continuing community-based services, rebuilding after housing instability, fulfilling structured recovery expectations, or adding accountability before living independently.
Harborstone does not define prospective residents solely by their past circumstances. We focus on readiness, safety, participation, personal responsibility, and commitment to progress.
