Gratitude in Action, Empowering Recovery
By actively expressing gratitude through donations and support, we collectively empower individuals on their journey to recovery, creating a ripple effect of positive change in our community and paying forward the gift of sobriety to those who need it most.
Founded in Dallas in 1987, The Magdalen House is the only privately-funded nonprofit organization in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to offer comprehensive recovery services, without requiring insurance or any form of payment. A staggering one in ten adults suffers from alcoholism, translating to more than 662,000 people in the DFW area alone. Alarmingly, less than 8% of those affected will seek help or receive care. After 38 years, The Magdalen House continues to play a vital role in changing the lives of alcoholic individuals and their families, ultimately creating a healthier and thriving community.
The Magdalen House presents the simple problem of alcoholism, along with a practical application of the solution through the following programs:
First Step Program
Cost to Run: $2,300 per person. Cost to participants: FREE
First Step is a two-week residential, non-medical detox program that provides a safe and understanding setting for an individual with alcoholism to physically separate from alcohol while being immersed in support and education from recovered individuals in the community at no cost.
Next Step Program
Cost to Run: $2,000 per person. Cost to participants: FREE
Next Step is a three-phase, approximately three-month, peer-to-peer recovery program in a non-residential environment that provides structure and education on foundational tools to any individual with alcoholism seeking to sustain and grow in their recovery.
Community Program
Cost to Run: $360 per person. Cost to participants: FREE
The Community program provides opportunities to build a thriving community for people in recovery from alcoholism and their families. This includes, meetings, workshops, fellowship events, and auxiliary groups.
Family Support Program
Cost to Run: $360 per person. Cost to participants: FREE
The Family Support program serves as a community for friends, loved ones, and family members of individuals with alcoholism to learn about the disease of alcoholism, understand how to support an alcoholic, and experience an improved quality of life regardless of the alcoholic’s recovery.
The mission of The Magdalen House is to help individuals with alcoholism achieve sobriety and sustain recovery at no cost and based on 12-step spiritual principles.
We currently seek support for our on-going operational expenses, including funding and resources for each of our programs: First Step, Next Step, Community which includes Family Support, and Outreach.
Just this year we opened our men's to now serve up to 100% of the Dallas alcoholic population. We hope to grow this program and offer a full spectrum of recovery services to both women and men.
We believe that when you invest in an alcoholic individual, you contribute to healthier families, more stable communities, and a reduction in the societal costs associated with alcoholism. Whether your donation is $1, $1,000, or anywhere in-between, every gift helps transform the life of a person struggling with alcoholism.
Alcoholism does not discriminate and neither should the solution. To realize the mission of helping individuals with alcoholism achieve sobriety and sustain recovery, the Magdalen House proudly employs, engages, and welcomes women and men of any ethnicity, culture, age, religious affiliation, and sexual orientation to the organization.
