About The Link Truman House

Truman House serves as transitional sober living next to The Link Halfway House. It is primarily used for men awaiting admission into the halfway program or those who have graduated but still need short-term, structured recovery housing with peer support.
Unlike the Halfway House, Truman House is not a licensed treatment program. Instead, it offers a peer-driven environment that promotes sober living and responsible habits. Residents continue to benefit from access to staff and connection to The Link’s recovery network, while preparing for next steps in their recovery journey.
This flexible, supportive setting offers shared living spaces, consistent routines, and informal access to recovery-related support. Truman House bridges the gap between formal treatment and independent living, helping men remain focused and connected during transitions.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like The Link Truman House provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
