Description
Since 2009, Restoration House has provided probationers, parolees, and others an opportunity to explore and address the root causes of their life-controlling addictions in a safe, supportive residential setting. Our multi-faceted, peer-led program provides motivated men and women a proven path from the hopeless bondage of addiction to productive sobriety and responsible maturity.

Amid the growing crisis of opioid addiction, the TBI estimates that 80% of Tennessee's crimes are drug-related. As the daily cost of housing an inmate nears $75, the Tennessee Department of Correction's annual budget approaches one billion dollars.

Although Restoration House saves Tennessee taxpayers nearly a million dollars each year, our enduring legacy is genuine transformation. Recognizing the proven link between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and addiction, our program systematically addresses the impact of ACEs on adults.

Description
KidPOWER is our afterschool mentoring program created to counter the devastating combination of generational poverty and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The sheer volume, intensity, and duration of the ACEs our children encounter exponentially amplifies the severity of their stress. However, recent medical research confirms that meaningful mentoring significantly and measurably mitigates the damaging effects of ACEs-related toxic stress.

While the program's long-term effects defy quantification, short-term results have been impressive. Equipped with new tools to confront situations constructively and safely, participants learn to convert challenges into opportunities for healing and growth. In the process, destructive cycles are disrupted and victims are transformed into victors!

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

Our programming is both preventative and restorative. We are helping addicts and alcoholics (most with criminal records) break the bondage of addiction while preventing the cycle from continuing in KidPOWER children. Both programs are holistic in nature involving a plethora of services designed to address numerous needs of our participants. The problems facing these populations are enormous but we know we are overcoming challenges and changing lives for the better. We know we are truly making a difference.
