The Healing Place of Wake County is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) long term recovery and rehabilitation facility for homeless people addicted to alcohol and other drug dependency. The Men’s Facility opened its doors in 2001 and the Women’s Facility began operation in 2006. The Healing Place facilities have provided more than one million beds of shelter and days of recovery to homeless men and women at a cost of less than $35 per client per day. Remarkably, one year after program completion over 70% of the graduates from the program are still in long term recovery, employed, tax paying citizens. The Healing Place of Wake County is built on the principles of a highly successful recovery model which received the 1998 US Department of Health Resources and Service Administration “Models That Work Award” in recognition of the success of the program.
