My Fathers House, Inc

My Fathers House is an Intensive Outpatient Facility licensed by New Jersey Division of Addiction Services.

We are a 501(c)(3) non profit that primarily serve the needs of the homeless, criminal justice men, women, and adolescents. This includes DUI, Parole & Probation, Welfare recipients, and those who have entered through the Division of Youth and Family Services.

Ninety Eight per cent (98%) of My Father’s House clients do not pay anything as they live below the poverty guidelines.

Poverty breeds all kinds of social ills. Most of My Father’s house clients are poor, not only in basic needs, but Poor in Spirit. My Father’s House is not only here as a counselor and a friend, but here to walk with them on their journey of rehabilitation and freedom from alcohol and drugs and to a purpose filled life.

My Father's House is dedicated to providing Assessment, Intervention and Treatment, including prevention, and Education for the disease of addiction while facilitating Spiritual Recovery and Personal Growth for all adults and adolescents.

My Father’s House, its Board and all of the good people who are part of making My Father’s House happen are dedicated to “CARING”. We are dedicated to genuine, empathetic “Caring”.  Not only the psychological and emotional caring that we give our clients as well as the medical caring, but we are dedicated to the QUALITY of our caring. Real CARE excludes indifference and is the opposite of apathy. It reaches out to the lost, the outcasts, the ones no one wants. These are the people we care about the most. The indigent, the lost, the lonely and at times the ugly. We CARE  to enter a HEALING CLOSENESS with our fellow human beings.

The word “care” finds its roots in the Gothic word “kara” which means lament. The basic meaning of “care” is: to grieve, to experience sorrow, to cry out with ,but we are meant to share life together, and so we here at My Father’s House chose to be a PRESENCE for those who need CARE. A PRESENCE that reaches out our hands in acceptance because where there is acceptance there is HEALING.

Consequently, we hope to be a HEALING PRESENCE for all broken, hurting adolescents, men, women and elderly – in short all families who have entered upon the road of recovery, and who may need a friend with whom to share their burden. Our hearts are with families who are broken so that they may HEAL. Healing a family means healing a community, and healing a community is to begin to heal our world.
