Entry-Level Stabilization Recovery Housing in Indianapolis

Pathway to Recovery provides income-based and peer-led substance-free housing for individuals in all stages of recovery, from untreated addiction to long-term sobriety and independence.

Pathway-1 is our entry-level housing and recovery-first program for men beginning their sobriety journey. This 6–9 stabilization program helps individuals transition from homelessness, untreated substance use, and mental health barriers into a safe, substance-free living environment. At this stage, no one is turned away for lack of funds.

If you’re already six months substance-free and employed full time, explore our semi-independent and permanent housing programs for men and women.

Resident Testimonials

Kenderick

Pathway is more than just a place to live, it is a home where I can continue to grow and help others live a life of recovery.

I never thought I’d have anything that I have today, including peace of mind. What sets Pathway apart from all the other places that I’ve been is the family-like atmosphere. It’s unique because you’re sharing [experiences] with somebody that’s going through the same thing as you. You learn to let people love you and you learn to love in return.

I no longer live at Pathway. Today I have a place of my own, but I know without question that I would not be where I am today without it. I certainly would not be the person I’ve become.
