People helping people.

We are dedicated to helping those in recovery from mental health and substance abuse disorders find purpose and meaning in everyday living.

Building the House of Recovery

Recovery is about more than stabilized mood or abstinence. Engaging in enriching activities and pursuing new hobbies and learning opportunities during recovery is a fundamental developmental process from dependency and reactivity to personal autonomy and self-agency.

According to SAMSHA, there are four major dimensions, or pillars, to recovery from substance use and mental health disorders: Health, home, community, and purpose. While all of these are vital, our passion is purpose. We believe it is through purpose we find meaning.

Meaning and purpose are often used interchangeably, however they are actually distinct concepts. Meaning is the subjective significance or importance of something, while purpose is the objective reason or intention behind it. Although they can be related, they are not the same thing.

Understanding the difference between these two concepts can help us better understand the world around us and our place in it.

Meaning refers to the significance or importance of something. It is a concept that is subjective and can vary from person to person. For example, the meaning of a particular object or event can be different for different people depending on their personal experiences and perspectives.

On the other hand, purpose refers to the reason or intention behind something. It is a more objective concept, as it is based on the idea that things are created or exist for a specific reason or function. For example, the purpose of a chair is to provide a place to sit, and the purpose of a hammer is to drive nails.

In addition, meaning and purpose can be related, but they are not the same thing. For example, a person’s job may have a specific purpose, such as to make money or to help others. However, the meaning of that job to the person may be different and may be based on factors such as fulfillment, personal growth, or contributing to society.
