Tharros means courage — our name, our missionWhat Should You Expect to Do at Tharros?
Your experience at Tharros is designed to help you be successful in your personal goals. We start by listening to your goals and helping you identify what you want to achieve. Everything we do is designed for your benefit.
Our structure is built so you can participate in community activities and learn important skills. We offer a great deal of opportunity — and you get to choose what works for your schedule and your goals. Your recovery is your recovery. We make suggestions and provide support and accountability, but you decide what works for you.
Our clients move forward to very positive lives. Tharros is a place for you to grow and develop a life you want to live without substances. Some clients also choose to engage our less supportive or independent living homes, and we can help you identify if that's right for you when the time comes.
