    A Place to Grow

    CASEWV Recovery Housing Services offers residents the opportunity to grow. One of the fundamental aspects of growth is acquiring all the documents needed for employment. Peer Recovery Coaches are here to help every step of the way.

    Peer Recovery Coaches are not counselors but are guided with the experience needed to show that living a sober life is possible and rewarding. The coaches can draw from their experiences to assist residents in their struggles with adjusting to their new lives.

“The Highland House and the Kennedy Center most definitely changed my life. I am now 4 years clean, I'm successful and I credit that to CASE and the programs that I completed.”
