About The Healing Place

The Healing Place of Wake County is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) recovery and rehabilitation facility for homeless people with alcohol and drug dependency. The Men’s Center opened its doors in January, 2001, and the Women’s Center began operation in January, 2006. As of January, 2007, over 6200 men and women have been provided with more than 360,000 beds of shelter. We have also provided thousands of recovery classes and meetings. The Healing Place offers a shelter, a social detox, and a recovery program all at a cost of less than $30 per day for each resident. Approximately 70% of the graduates from our program, with a year of post-discharge sobriety, are still sober. The Healing Place of Wake County is built on the principles of the highly successful “Healing Place in Louisville, KY,” which received the 1998 US Department of Health Resources and Service Administration “Models That Work Award” in recognition of the success of the program.
