“You are to be commended for your hard work on providing growth opportunities for recovering people. You offer so much for college students, my staff often will refer students to you. Your effort in collaboration with Kennesaw State University campus programs provides a very powerful education, support and recovery tool for our college population”

- Dr. Bob Maddox, Director of Counseling and Advising Services, Kennesaw State University

“Two of the greatest challenges facing alcohol and drug educators in higher education today is the lack of appropriate, affordable substance abuse treatment for college students, as well as the lack of peer and institutional support for students in recovery. HERO House offers an ideal solution for the second because it provides students in recovery a completely substance-free living environment while offering them vital social support and encouragement for their sobriety. This combination allows students to balance both their recovery and college studies, therefore directly impacting student retention and success.”

“As parents, we have seen miraculous improvements in our son. After two months of being an occupant at the Hero House and participating in college courses and attaining a part-time job, we have witnessed a level of maturity we did not think possible. The counseling at The Hero House has provided our son a clear vision of what is possible with consistent attention to sobriety. We are very grateful parents for the existence of The Hero House.”

”After getting out of treatment, I was all alone. I found The HERO House and was able to connect with others in recovery…it has been life-changing. The community is like my second family and we are all going through similar issues. I don’t know where I would be today without The HERO House.”
