Faith-centered sober living in Des Moines: build your recovery on a firm foundation.
Firm Foundation Recovery exists to provide a safe, structured, faith-centered sober living community where people can establish a firm foundation for lasting recovery.
Trust God
Recovery starts with surrender and faith in something bigger than ourselves.
Clean House
Honest work on ourselves, in a home that is sober, safe and accountable.
Help Others
We stay sober by giving it away and lifting up the person next to us.
Recovery is more than abstinence.
