Everyone is treated with dignity and compassion, free from discrimination, as we work together toward healing and reintegration.

When I arrived at Gordon House, I expected to be treated like just another inmate—but instead, they treated me like a person. That respect made all the difference. I came in carrying a lot of guilt and uncertainty about my future, but the staff gave me structure, support, and the space to focus on myself. They helped me set goals, stay sober, and begin to believe I could actually live a different kind of life. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I had a real chance—and that changed everything.
