Healing Transitions 20th Anniversary Publication
We believe that all people struggling with addiction (especially the homeless, uninsured and underserved) deserve services on demand – as many times as it takes – to find recovery. And we never turn away anyone who’s seeking help.

On January 16, 2006, <strong>Healing</strong> <strong>Transitions</strong>’ women’s campus opened, taking<br />
in 14 women on the very first night. The next day, 10 women entered the first<br />
stage of the long-term recovery program. Within the first year of operation, the<br />
women’s campus provided services to 956 women, three of whom completed<br />
the full recovery program.<br />
With both campuses fully-operational, Wake County now had a place that<br />
could serve homeless and underserved men and women struggling with<br />
addiction that was free to the participant, open 24 hours a day, and would<br />
serve them as many times as it took to find lasting recovery. The peer-to-peer<br />
model and connection to local organizations in Wake County allowed each<br />
person to build a network of support to help them even after they left, no<br />
matter if it was before or after they completed the recovery program.<br />
