Help alcoholics, their families, and their communities find hope, clarity, and joy.
Together we can build a thriving community of recovered alcoholics and their families — one person at a time.
The Magdalen House is a nonprofit organization committed to helping individuals with alcoholism and their families establish long-term, sustainable recovery by providing comprehensive, spiritually based programming that is both accessible and effective.
Founded in Dallas in 1987, The Magdalen House continues to be the only agency in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to offer comprehensive recovery services, without government assistance or payment from insurance, 100% free of charge. One in nine adults suffers from alcoholism- that is over 657,000 people in the Dallas area, and less than 10% of them will seek help or receive care. After 36 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:
