Provides residential settings for individuals recovering from substance abuse.
04/05/2026
Last Wednesday, a local volunteer led a therapeutic art activity for our residents. She first discussed the ways in which we all "mask" in our daily lives - and talked about the masking we do when living in recovery - hiding our disease of addiction due to stigma and misunderstandings. We looked at some great examples of cultural and historical masks - elaborately carved and decorated - using books from Forsyth County Public Library, Winston-Salem, NC as additional inspiration for our project.
If you are an artist experienced in delivering programming to individuals in recovery or other medical settings and would be willing to volunteer your time - or if you have the ability to make a donation to support this monthly program - please contact us!

The Fellowship Home of Winston-Salem is housed in a beautiful historic home, just at the edge of downtown Winston-Salem. Since 1962, the house has been graciously offered to the Fellowship Home under an agreement with the Winston-Salem Foundation, for as long as we do the work of supporting men who are in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
But as with any home, our house often needs work. Repairs and improvements are the sole responsibility of our nonprofit entity and sometimes those repairs are a lot.
Help us to perpetuate the mission of the Fellowship Home and our proximity to employment, medical services, transportation and the library - all key elements for our residents - but adding to our financial toolbox!
A small recurring donation of $10 to $25 per month will provide the ongoing security that next time a nail needs to be hammered or a pipe needs unplugging, we have just the right the right tool on hand to make that work happen!
Help support The Fellowship Home of Winston-Salem, NC, Inc. by donating or sharing with your friends.

Support new resident stability:
When a new resident arrives at Fellowship Home, our staff is with them side-by-side, every step. From taking these men to get needed medical care, to the DMV for new IDs, or to register for employment training or other needs, it is part of our safety net and onboarding that someone goes with them to support and assist.
Your one-time donation of $150 covers transportation costs for one resident in our care and provides the foundational trust that we are there with you at every moment of your recovery journey - big to small.
We believe everyone has the right to recover. Our mission is to provide a structured residential setting for men recovering from substance use disorders. Our goal is to provide a therapeutic environment that helps men recovering from substance use disorders gain control of their lives, generate hope...

The work of The Fellowship Home is reliant on keeping our household well-stocked every day. Food, cleaning supplies, bedding, and clothing for our residents are a priority not just during the holidays, but every day of the year.
During this time of giving, would you consider looking through our Amazon Wish List and purchasing a few items to help The Fellowship Home and our residents be equipped for success. Items will be delivered directly to The Fellowship Home.
Those closely affected by substance abuse are often the best resources during recovery.
In 2024, 16.8% of people aged 12 or older (approximately 48.4 million individuals) had a substance use disorder (SUD) in the past year.

Forsyth County's Behavioral Health Services is hosting a youth training on opioid overdose prevention and awareness for ages 12-18 on Tuesday, Nov. 18 from 6-7:30 p.m., at the Carver School Road Branch Library, 4915 Lansing Drive.
Hannah Phillips, a substance use health educator with the county, will talk to youth about the impacts of opioids, teach them harm reduction strategies to prevent overdoses and train them on how to use naloxone (also known as Narcan) if needed.
Parents are invited to stay and join an optional discussion on to effectively communicate with their kids about drugs.
Parents can register their child for the event at forsyth.cc/overdose_prevention.
“I kind of compare it to knowing how to do CPR," Phillips said. "Knowing how to give Naloxone is a first responder skill that you hope you never have to use, but it could save someone's life if you are in that situation.”

We are celebrating 63 years in Winston-Salem, and like our residents, we understand that our success is a result of a caring community and collaboration.
In 1985, The Fellowship Home became a United Way of Forsyth County partner agency and we established ourselves as a leader in comprehensive relapse prevention. This forty-year partnership has helped thousands of our residents have a better chance of recovery through a mutual effort, rather than going it alone.

The Fellowship Home provides structured residential settings for individuals recovering from the disease of addiction. We offer opportunities for growth and change in a supportive atmosphere.
Over the past 50 years we have helped thousands sustain their recovery. More about our history and our 50th Anniversary here.
Addiction is a complex disease that victimizes the individual, the family and the community. For many who are often dually addicted, brief hospitalization is not enough. There is often a long history of behavior patterns and habits that impair personal relationships, employment and the ability to stay clean when confronted with the stresses of everyday life. For individuals in this situation, there is The Fellowship Home.
We are well known for the long-term success of our Comprehensive Relapse Prevention Program. It is a two-year program in which all residents are required to make a three-month commitment. The maximum length of stay is nine months. The average stay is six months. The residential stay is followed by up to 21 months of aftercare. Our clients learn to identify the issues that led to their initial abuse of substances. They are educated about how those same issues might still jeopardize their recovery. Clients who complete the program are equipped with the ability to self-evaluate and self-counsel.
Last year, 18 of the 33 men (55%) who entered our program successfully completed it. Seventy percent of those individuals were homeless when they came to us. We consider a resident a success when he has: remained abstinent from all drugs including alcohol; obtained permanent employment; established a savings plan; paid all rent and fees as prescribed; actively participated in the 12-step program (which includes meeting attendance, sponsorship, home group involvement, and workings steps); and last but not least, has moved into an independent living arrangement upon graduating from Fellowship Home.
According to the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), individuals who go into recovery without benefit of a network or structured program have only a 7% chance of success. SAMHSA reports that the national rate for success within a program is 14%. The success rate for our New Horizon participants in 2011 was 91%.
