WHY IT MATTERS

Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does

Graduates often face the overwhelming task of rebuilding their lives at once, securing transportation, housing, and steady work while protecting their sobriety. Many have not experienced stable, independent living in years, if ever. Here are four barriers they face, and how Solid Ground NC helps.

Finances

THE BARRIER

Even when employed, graduates leave treatment with little savings, often not enough for transportation, housing deposits, and basic costs. Many have not yet had the chance to build money management skills.

HOW WE HELP

An affordable program fee that includes housing, with no large deposit to get started. Financial education helps residents build a spending plan, save for larger expenses, and work toward full financial independence.

Criminal records

THE BARRIER

Many graduates have drug-related charges, sometimes felonies or past incarceration, that cause housing applications to be turned down.

HOW WE HELP

Time and a track record. One year of treatment followed by up to two years in our program puts distance between residents and their past and shows lasting change. Solid Ground NC is also building relationships with landlords who understand our program.

Credit history

THE BARRIER

Some graduates have no credit history, having never held utility accounts or a taxable salary. Others have poor credit from bankruptcy or unpaid bills.

HOW WE HELP

Residents build a documented record of on-time program fees they can show future landlords. An affordable fee also leaves room in their budget to pay down past debts and court costs.

Ongoing encouragement

THE BARRIER

The physical effects of addiction may fade after a year of treatment, but the emotional effects can last for decades. Leaving the support and accountability of treatment makes it easier to fall back into old patterns.

HOW WE HELP

We provide a community designed for connection, with neighbors on the same path and mentors who invest in participants. Regular check-ins add accountability, so residents stay supported as they step into independence.

HOW IT WORKS

Three phases, one steady path

Each phase builds on the last. Check-ins and program fees initially occur weekly and step back to bi-weekly, and then monthly as residents show they are ready for more independence. Residents also attend recovery meetings such as AA, NA, Celebrate Recovery, or Recovery Alive.

PROGRAM FEES

Affordable by design

Residents pay an affordable program fee that includes their housing. The fee is set to leave room in their budget to save, pay down past debts, and plan for what comes next.
