Our Program

Restoration House - Our name summarizes our mission: to help restore broken lives by offering a Christian faith-based sober living residential support structure for male parolees returning to Sacramento County who are committed to life and lifestyle change.

Restoration House provides a "family" living environment in a beautiful facility in the Fruitridge East area of Sacramento. Personal responsibility, respect for others, communication, conflict resolution, and similar skills are learned and lived. Residents must commit to curfews, random drug tests, and to supporting one another. We accept applications without regard to ethnicity, age, race, or sexual orientation. We are not able to accept PC 290 registrants, anyone unable to easily navigate stairs.

We are certified by CAARR (California Association of Addiction Recovery Resources) and have a certified substance abuse counselor on staff. We are not a licensed treatment facility, and we do not provide detox, medical or psychological services.

Restoration House addresses the whole person. Components of our support structure include:

Spiritual. Bible study, prayer and life-sharing time are the core of our program. Each resident is expected to worship and become involved in a church of his choice.

Educational. Residents are encouraged to participate in ongoing education: school, GED preparation, or vocational training. Tutoring is provided.

Life-Skills Training. We offer opportunities to learn money management and budgeting; shopping and cooking; social and relational skills; health and nutrition; finding and using community resources for employment and other needs.

Rehabilitation. Each resident sets person goals and has a personalized program. Progress and accountability are provided by individual meetings with staff, and in resident group meetings. Residents are encouraged to participate in AA, NA, or other self-help groups.

Employment. Residents are required to seek and hold full time employment. If disabled, applicants must currently have Social Security Disability benefits. If in an educational or vocational program, applicants must have a sponsor or scholarship sufficient to pay fees.
