About Chapter House

Our Mission: Rewriting the Recovery Narrative

At Chapter House, we are dedicated to rewriting the narrative of recovery for young adult men. Founded on a bedrock of compassion and innovative care strategies, our program stands as a beacon of hope for young men embarking on their recovery journey from addiction.

We believe that effective recovery requires more than just good intentions—it requires a holistic and personalized approach that addresses not just the physical aspects of dependency, but the emotional and psychological facets as well. Our approach recognizes that young men need time and immense support while practicing the principles of a recovered lifestyle.

What Makes Chapter House Different

Chapter House is a 5,700 square foot men’s sober living facility combined with an intensive outpatient program (Chapter House Counseling Center) located in Dallas, Texas. We specialize in working with the “failure to launch” population of young adult males who need more support than traditional sober living environments provide.

Our Founders' Vision

Chapter House was created by Michael Smith and Heidi Voet, who met while working at a residential treatment center and were married in 2008. From the beginning of their relationship, they knew their combined mission was to use their unique gifts to help others recover.
Through their experience in both residential treatment and sober living environments, Michael and Heidi began to see a critical need for a different kind of recovery support. They recognized a gap in the continuum of care for individuals who need more intensive support during the vulnerable transition out of residential treatment.

Our Ultimate Goal

The ultimate goal of Chapter House is to provide a smooth transition for individuals moving from structured treatment environments to successful independent living. Our program is designed to bridge this critical gap effectively, supporting residents as they make this essential leap toward lasting recovery and productive adult life.

We understand that this transition period is when many relapses occur, which is why we provide the intensive support, structure, and clinical services necessary to protect sobriety while building the skills and confidence needed for independent success.
