"The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection.” -Johann Hari
This quote so perfectly describes the work we do at Place of Grace every day. Our work is relational at its very core. As our residents move from addiction and incarceration into recovery and freedom, they need to re-establish new routines, resources, and relationships. Recovery residences like Place of Grace help incorporate these areas into every day life. These are formed through a safe, sober living environment and referrals to outside resources that will continue to support our women as they strengthen their recovery and faith.
