Alexa wept tears of joy today as she successfully transitioned out of a Sharpen Recovery women’s home and into her own apartment, fully furnished and made beautiful by our wonderful friends at Finishing Touch!

After 14 empowering months as a participant at Sharpen, Alexa has achieved her longterm goal of regaining parental custody of her son. She now has a place of her own where he can live with her for the remainder of his childhood. Way to go, Alexa!

Our very first recovery home for women, established in 2021, served us well, but we outgrew it and needed to relocate.

Now take a look at our newest Sharpen Recovery home! Just as before, this home will be a refuge of recovery for our female participants. As you can see, through an ongoing, much-appreciated partnership with Finishing Touch, the home is beautifully decorated, skillfully functional, and wonderfully inviting!

Here’s Cody — our Chief Program Officer and one of several tour guides this week as the Sharpen staff hosted Site Visit Week. Over a three-day period, 20+ organizations came to see one of our newest homes and discuss how we can link arms to serve men and women across the city who are struggling with alcoholism and addiction.

Sharpen is honored to engage with an abundance of great organizations. We provide an essential part of the continuum of care through recovery housing — and we’re grateful to partner with others across the city who carry out the many other vital roles in that continuum.

Most of the men and women at Sharpen come to one of our 17 locations across Greater Houston after completing inpatient treatment. While living in our homes, many engage in outpatient clinical programs, and those who choose become part of local churches.

This week was special for us to deepen relationships and begin new ones.

Here are the organizations who participated in Site Visit Week:

Christ the King
La Hacienda
Suarez Recovery Services
Westpark Springs
Houston’s First Baptist Church
Union Church
Positive Recovery Centers
The Council on Recovery
The Menninger Clinic
Acute Medical Detox Stabilization Program
Serenity Light Recovery
Arise Recovery Centers
The Meadows
Magnolia City Detox
Sunshine Behavioral Health
Grace Fellowship
Luna Recovery
Harmony Grove Behavioral Health
Shine Bible Fellowship
Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church-MDPC
Champion Forest Baptist Church

“A year ago, I was not ready to commit. Today, I’m sober, growing in faith, and rebuilding my life for my son.”

Alexa shared this with us as she reflected on the long road that led her from instability, addiction, and repeated overdoses to lasting recovery. After years of substance abuse, jail time, and countless attempts at treatment, Alexa came to Sharpen Recovery in April 2025 ready to fully embrace the program and the life God was calling her toward.

Today, she is one year sober, serving as a Peer Coordinator in her Sharpen home, growing in spiritual strength, and caring for her eight-year-old son after regaining custody. She now hopes to one day open recovery homes of her own so she can help others find the same hope and stability she has found.
