Our Mission
We developed Healthy Living in Recovery to bridge the gaps in traditional recovery approaches by providing a comprehensive, person-centered path to overcoming addiction and co-occurring mental health challenges. Developed by the Community Blessings Foundation, our program is built on personal experiences and a deep commitment to treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
We empower individuals to build sustainable foundations for wellness through personalized recovery plans that combine evidence-based practices with holistic therapies. We celebrate the unique backgrounds and perspectives of every individual, recognizing that inclusivity enhances the recovery experience for all.
Understanding that true recovery is a journey and not a quick fix, we provide the time, attention, and continuous support necessary for meaningful and lasting change. At Trinity Inns, we offer safe and structured recovery housing, fostering a sober living environment where accountability, responsibility, and community support flourish.
Guided by the compassion and lived experiences of our Peer Recovery Specialists, we provide practical guidance, resource navigation, and opportunities for growth, ensuring no one walks the recovery journey alone.
Together, we create a future of hope, healing, and resilience, ensuring that every person can rediscover their purpose and identity beyond substance use.
