Upper Room Recovery Community
Addiction recovery support in South Bend.
Upper Room Recovery Community is a temporary supportive home for people who are in recovery from addiction. Our program connects holistically with other recovery programs as well as the local spiritual community and judicial system to provide a safe, encouraging, and welcoming environment to continue your recovery.
Adjusting to life in sobriety is hard. It is even harder when the only place you have is the place that enabled your addiction, or when you have no place to go at all. Recovery takes root in places of safety and community. In a home that supports your sobriety.
When you need it most, the Upper Room is home.

Support The Upper Room
Recovery Is The Work Of A Village
No one gets better alone, it takes friends, family, sponsors, networks, organizations and even strangers. Our work is the same. We would not be able to do what we do and help who we help without the support of our community. If the words of recovery are written on your heart, please join us.
The Recovery Cafe
The Recovery Cafe is open and ready to welcome you. Located inside First United Methodist Church and the Upper Room, it is a relaxing, healing space you may visit daily or weekly to work through past trauma, mental health challenges, substance use disorder, emotional pain, and life mistakes. We offer a safe, stable, and drug- and alcohol-free environment where you can maintain your recovery, reduce relapse, and focus on personal goals.
Guests can enjoy a drink, snack, or meal, along with genuine support from people who understand the recovery journey. We’re here to provide resources, connections, and encouragement every step of the way.
The Recovery Cafe is open Monday through Friday, 9 am–4 pm.
