LCHH is not a detox, medical or mental health facility. You must test negative on a urinalysis 24-48 hours before entering the recovery home.
Medical and clinical services play an important role in addiction recovery therefore, if you or a loved one require these services, we encourage you to seek them out before applying to our program.
WHAT WE DO
Nearly all of us are touched, in some way, by the disease of addiction, whether through family members, friends, coworkers, or acquaintances. Alcoholism and addiction rob individuals of everything they love and value.
Recovery is possible, but sometimes requires more than just detox (or even short-term treatment).
Based in Beaufort, South Carolina, Low Country Hope House (LCHH) is a long-term recovery home for men and women. Our goal is simple—freedom from alcohol and drug addiction. LCHH seeks to integrate the highly effective twelve-step principals with a comprehensive education about the disease of addiction. The result of this combination is a higher than average rate of recovery.
LCHH was founded and is run by people in recovery who believe they owe a debt to other alcoholics and addicts that helped them achieve a life liberated from alcohol and drugs. The LCHH family feels that it is a duty, an honor and a privilege to help the still sick and suffering.
THE FACILITIES
LCHH provides residences for men and women over the age of 18 who are recovering from alcohol and/or drug addiction. We place a high emphasis on financial responsibility. Residents are required to work and pay their rent promptly. Residents participate in daily community recovery meetings and assist their fellow residents in overcoming addiction. Residents are also required to perform service work during their stay. Adherence to these principles is required.
We offer 2 male residence homes. The intake house holds 8 men and the Step Up home houses up to 10. We opened an all female residence called the New Beginnings House at the end of 2022. The female residence houses up to 7 women.
​
All residents live under the supervision of a house manager. We expect residents to follow house rules, to participate in house activities, and to consent to random drug and alcohol tests. The average stay is between six and twelve months, committing to a 12-step program.
​
The expansion of this organization (and addition of future recovery homes) is a dream come true for all of us involved and we would like to thank every one of you for your gracious donations and countless hours of volunteer work. None of this could have been possible without your love and support.

TESTIMONIALS
My name is Josh. I'm 35 years old and I'm from Myrtle Beach, SC. Growing up on the coast, to put it lightly, I found myself on a permanent vacation. I became consumed in a lifestyle of drugs and alcohol. Completely lost and desperately looking for a better way of living, I found the Low Country Hope House. It was there that I found the structure I was looking for. I was introduced to a 12-step program and was taught how to live a clean and sober life. The Hope House gave me a foundation to build upon and a structured way of recovery. As humble as they are and don't accept the credit, I thank James and Richard for a huge part of my recovery. I currently have a great job, my own place to live and countless other amazing blessings. I am extremely grateful for the Hope House for giving me the tools for the life I have today.
Forever Grateful, Josh A.

Shame, resentments, guilt, remorse, sorrow and anger. These are just some of the things that constantly drive the insane thinking of an alcoholic.

My name is Corey; and I'm an alcoholic. I've been sober a year now thanks to the structure and principles I've learned at the Low Country Hope House. Unlike and in-patient treatment center, at the Hope House there is no set time limit; and you're not cocooned inside protective walls. I work, pay rent, buy groceries and work the program. The program showed me how to deal with those emotions that made me drink. The LCHH allowed
me to experience the highs and lows of life; combined with accountability to learn to do it sober.
​
The Hope House gave me the knowledge and the tools. I did the work; and God saved my life.
Thank you, Corey C.
