King House

ASAC’s King House program provides housing and treatment services for men 18 years of age and older in recovery and those striving for recovery. King House was established in 1966 to serve as a refuge for men suffering from alcoholism.  The House bears the name of its founder; Dr. Ross King.

It is a substance-free environment working in conjunction with our outpatient services in order to increase success in sobriety. This program utilizes treatment and a safe environment; it encourages community involvement as well as entering the workforce to rebuild security among these men.  If a patient is not suited to enter the workforce they will be required to participate in volunteer work in the community that meets their abilities.  The program runs eight to twelve weeks according to insurance authorization. We hope to assist in recovery, life skills, structure, comfort, and communication.
