Our Mission:
There are many treatment centers who help people to overcome alcoholism and drug addiction - there is no monopoly in this industry, as the majority of success is dependent on the residents' commitment and willingness to change.
AZ House is a Residential Therapeutic Community, offering residents the chance to live in a community, develop self-discipline and become respectful contributors to society, alongside freedom from active addiction.
Our 12 step based curriculum offers residents the opportunity to disconnect and focus solely on their recovery. Our agenda is that the addict and his family need not experience financial destruction while simultaneously dealing with an addiction, and this is why every resident receives a full scholarship upon entry.
To begin with, our residents receive room and board at our facility. Our serious yet encouraging program structure and schedule helps residents develop a strong foundation. We see that this opportunity to focus so intensely on their recovery serves them for the rest of their lives.
The second stage of the program guides our residents to develop self-sufficiency and to seek employment. Once settled into a job, whilst also reliably maintaining their responsibilities and commitments to the House, residents begin the process of re-establishing themselves into society and become ready to plan the next steps of their new way of life. However, there is no rush to leave the House, and residents are encouraged to stay as long as they need.
In addition to the staff providing hands on guidance, the sober community is a huge part of ours, with volunteers who help in many ways, including giving recovery groups during our daily structure here at the House.
As of yet, not many treatment centers provide programs which are sensitive to the Jewish community. We offer our frum residents the opportunity to focus on their recovery, while having the freedom to continue living a frum, kosher and shomer shabbos life.
On the other hand, we also do not demand any level of religious behavior - we have residents who are not as observant and our sole focus is on a resident's journey to recovery.
All are welcome.
