We envision a community free from stigma, where recovery is celebrated, prevention is prioritized, and every person is treated with dignity and respect. 



Our Values

 We believe that every individual has the right to dignity, healing, and hope. Our values are grounded in compassion, respect, and accountability. We honor each person’s unique journey by fostering a nonjudgmental environment. We advocate for recovery by empowering individuals, to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction.

BLAME BATES? Why are we blaming you?

The name Blame Bates came come , Bates going over a housing document with a client saying no  visitors for 6 month unless approved because bad visitors mess up everything you have accomplished. 


So they were told BLAME BATES and give them her card.  Bates can help them like she has helped you.  You can Blame Bates for your success if you like to.
