​Our essence, what makes us stand out as a sober house is that we stand for something valuable, we have two driving forces, one we borrowed from 12-step and the second from SAMSHA. 

 

MISSION

We believe sober housing can be lifted up. It can move beyond sobriety as a rule and toward healing as a lived identity. It’s recovery with a heartbeat—a sober home built not just to keep sober people safe, but to help them belong, grow, and lead.

Research shows that recovery residences reduce relapse rates and boost long-term recovery rates

At Right Path House, we bring that science to life—offering structured, community-rich residences that support brain healing, purpose, and lasting transformation.

TESTIMONIALS

"Right Path House didn’t just give our son a place to live—he has changed. The structure provided safety, but it was the community that truly helped him to grow and be the guy he now is. There’s something sacred about this house: the way residents are seen, the way they treat each other, the accountability that I could never even attempt, happens without judgment, and the way he thinks now turns his recovery into something he embodies. We watched him not just stay sober, but grow into someone who takes pride in showing up for us and others. That shift—from being a burden to belonging in the family again—is something we never imagined possible. Right Path wasn’t the end of his journey—it was the beginning of him. We are forever grateful.”_ — Family Member of a Former Resident

"I thought this structure would suffocate me, but instead it gave me time to finally relax and take a breath. They didn't treat me like someone broken who needed fixing—they treated me like someone who simply needed (and who wanted) to get better. In a world that offers either chaos or control, this place gave me rhythm, belonging, and real accountability. It wasn’t just the house, it was the energy—the small meeting every Saturday, the people, the quiet but amazing Brett, that built me up to the point where I wanted to keep on going. This is where I found not just my sobriety, but a self I can stand , no, wait, actually, like." — Former Resident, 11 months sober

"I tried to get sober for years. Therapy. Steps. Sober Houses. I could talk about my trauma, do a gratitude list, even show up for meetings. But I never did all of it at the same time—I never put it, rather, me, as the priority. Right Path didn’t let me stay scattered. I couldn't go a week without being accountable. They asked me to do all of the steps, the therapy, the house, the work at the same time. That was exhausting. The responsibilities to the house. I feel like I grew up—feel like I'm someone new. I’m not just sober now. I’m steady. I respect myself in a way I never thought I could.”_ — Former Resident, 2 + years sober

"For the longest time, I was convinced I was just never going to get it. I’d work the steps, but skip the harder stuff. I’d thought taking care of myself meant it's ok to stay isolated. You meant, to show myself some respect. Every time I’d start anything, something was wrong. Here, at Right Path, it wasn’t about doing more, it was about just doing it. Thanks to Pat and Lisa, for the first time, I followed suggestions—I lived with people who showed me what being part of a group really looks like. I am so grateful! I’m more than sober now—that’s something I honestly never thought I’d be able to say." — Former Resident, sober 17 months

"I had heard it all before. Right Path is my, hopefully, last sober house. People had told me to be honest, to show up, to trust the process. But when Pat said it, she just knew how to say the same thing in a way I could hear. There was something about the vibe here. You could tell we all connected and it made sobriety feel so human for me. Pat has this way of offering accountability that doesn’t make me feel bad in any way, and that’s what made the difference for me. Pat reminds me who I am-that I'm good- despite what I'm thinking. What a difference for me-not what I was thinking about what I’d done, but from Pat who knows me. If it weren’t for Pat and everyone in the house, I certainly wouldn't be here and I was going to give up and be unreachable. Glad I met Pat and Right Path” — Former Resident with 1.5 years sober

"Thank you Brett for calling me on my stuff without making me feel bad. I think you know what it is like to fall apart, and that’s why you carried weight. You taught me how to live differently— and reminded me that I was worth the effort even though I didn’t trust anything...in the beginning. I trust you now! I don’t pretend to have it together—I just show up unlike before. I hope you know how much you and the house helped change my life. " — Former Resident, 6 months sober

OUR STORY

MacKenzie Morley died January 4, 2016. I was her aunt, her advocate, and her friend. She was a mother, wife, and daughter. Her son thought the world of her. We all did. Despite going to rehab three times in a row, she died at 27 of liver failure arising from her addiction. She couldn't find a sober house that could accommodate her life responsibilities and her recovery at the same time at a price she could afford. She left behind her 8-year-old son, Brodie, and a loving family. She was kind, funny and generous. 

Enough is enough, I wanted to do what I could to change things. Being decades sober myself, I had seen, first hand, the benefits of sober living. The cost was too high for a good sober living house and the sober living houses that offered little more than a bed weren't always very helpful, so I opened a blend of both in a gently structured sober living house that was reasonably priced.  We individually coach our residents to practice the proven research about building community, creating a wellness plan, seeking safety and finding a sense of purpose. It is our norm. Because we miss our MacKenzie every day, we want to extend our hand to you and your family as you seek help.  Your family can find and nurture the peace and long-lasting health that you may long for.
