The
Hale House Foundation Inc. is a transitional program to assist men
over the age of 21 with substance abuse problems to recover in a safe halfway
house setting until they are ready to assume responsibility by readjusting to
society and resume independent living. The Hale House offers programs without
restrictions on the length of stay to accommodate individual recovery.
It holds to a strict zero tolerance policy for alcohol or drug use as well
as any unwillingness to cooperate with foundation rules beneficial to the entire
recovering community.
Started in 1991 with a single house, the Foundation has now expanded to several houses. Three programs were developed to help men in different “stages” of recovery. Each entering person is reviewed by recovering staff members to assess their needs and periodic evaluations are made to mark their progress.
The Hale House is strongly supported by the community and on the 7th Anniversary of its birth, the Hale House was commemorated by Augusta’s Mayor Larry Sconyers as he declared September 23, 1998 Hale House Foundation Day.
