You don’t have to walk through it alone.

- A confidential community environment. What happens in group stays in group.
Also on Tuesdays
The Hill City Mindfulness Recovery Group and a second mindfulness recovery group rotate on Tuesday evenings at the house. Check our social media for this week’s group and time.
What to expect
A room, a circle, and people who get it.
Come as you are.
Walk in
The group meets in the front room of the house. Arrive a few minutes early if you can. Someone will point you to a chair.
Listen or share
Nobody is required to speak. Some weeks you talk, some weeks you just listen. Both count.
Keep it in the room
What people share stays with the group. That is the one rule everyone agrees to before anything else.
Beyond the group
Recovery is part of everything we do here.
Mindfulness and quiet
The Rachel Burns Zen Garden is a place to rest your mind. Sit, breathe, chalk something on the wall. Mindfulness runs through every program in the house.
Mindfulness programsFree Narcan
Narcan is available through The Clarity House, no questions asked. Ask anyone at the house, or reach out and we’ll set it aside for you.
Community connection
Recovery gets easier with people around you. Live music nights, open jams, poetry, community dinners and art shows are all open to everyone. See what’s coming up.
A note on what we are, and what we aren’t
Our recovery programs are community-based and peer-supported. They are not a substitute for professional medical, mental-health or substance-use treatment. The Clarity House is not a clinical treatment provider. What we offer is a welcoming space, people who understand, and a place to keep showing up.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. If you or someone you know needs immediate emotional support, call or text 988 any time.
What is 988? The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline offers 24/7 call, text and chat access to trained crisis counselors who can help people experiencing suicidal, substance use and/or mental health crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress. People can also dial 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.
