About

About Harbor House Inc

Harbor House, Inc. in Memphis is a longstanding nonprofit residential addiction treatment center located at 1979 Alcy Road, serving adult men in Shelby County and the greater Mid-South region. Designated as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, Harbor House provides residential rehabilitation and medically managed detoxification for men with substance use and alcohol use disorders, including those who face additional barriers to traditional treatment access. The organization is distinct from the similarly named Harbor House in Fort Smith, Arkansas, despite sharing the name.

Clinical services at the Memphis location include medical detoxification and residential treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy serves as the primary evidence-based modality, integrated with individual and group counseling and 12-step facilitation. The therapeutic environment is designed for adult men, with structured days, peer accountability, and skills work that prepares residents for sustained recovery and reintegration. Length of stay is determined by clinical assessment and progress through the program.

Harbor House’s stated populations include men, court-ordered clients, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients—the latter supported through American Sign Language access. Co-occurring mental health conditions are addressed alongside primary substance use treatment, recognizing that many residents arrive with overlapping psychiatric and trauma histories. The program emphasizes accessibility for men who often lack private resources, with self-pay structured around the organization’s nonprofit model.

Directory information for this location should be verified directly with the organization, as some publicly available secondary sources reflect generic addiction treatment lead-generation content rather than Harbor House Memphis’s own materials. Prospective residents and referring partners should call the program to confirm current admissions criteria, insurance contracts, accreditation status, and length-of-stay expectations.
