Vanderburgh House’s success in working with young men began to take off once the guys began living with their own peers.

An alcoholic himself, Perry had been through a recovery center that emphasized identifying and modifying self-sabotaging behavior. Proudly providing a community-driven, structured approach to sobriety for young men and transforming families lives in the South Bay for over 35 years.
