Our Mission

The mission of East House is to enable individuals recovering from mental illness, substance abuse, or both to live healthy and fulfilling lives, through personalized rehabilitative, vocational, educational, advocacy and housing services.

our vision

We will be a leader in our field:  innovative, growth oriented, client centered and professional.  East House will be an inclusive organization, valuing mutual respect for one another.  We will be an effective voice for our clients and families, and a visible, collaborative member of the community.

Our Philosophy

We acknowledge that major mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and affective disorders, and chemical dependency are disabling conditions that affect millions of individuals and thousands of local residents.  Although these conditions are serious, they can be successfully treated in the majority of cases.

We believe that a key to successful treatment for individuals is their active involvement in a rehabilitation program that develops the skills and supports necessary for successful community living.

We believe that with the active partnership of East House counselors, family members, and therapists, individuals with such disabling conditions can lead healthier, more satisfying and productive lives with a renewed sense of hope, belonging, and care.

We are committed to providing quality services that are culturally sensitive and responsive to individual and community needs.
