Our Story

A Lexington community where people learn to live life sober.

Since welcoming our first resident in 1989, Shepherd's House has been a place where men and women rebuild their lives through structured recovery, accountability, and real human connection.

Recovery here isn't a clinical process — it's a way of life. Residents move through a long-term program built around twelve-step fellowship, peer support, employment, and the rhythms of sober community.
