ABOUT US

Our Mission

TROSA is an innovative, multi-year residential program that empowers people with substance use disorders to be productive, recovering individuals by providing comprehensive treatment, experiential vocational training, education, and continuing care.

We are a licensed facility dedicated to providing quality care and services. 

TROSA is an award-winning, evidence-based, peer-driven program that provides free housing, meals, clothing, health services, vocational and life skills training, mentorship, counseling, and more. 

Admissions

TROSA is accepting new admissions. Call 919-419-1059 (or our toll-free number 1-833-408-7672) to learn more. While we welcome phone calls from family members and friends, TROSA is a voluntary program and it is important that the individual seeking treatment begins the recovery process by calling for themself.

An Effective, Comprehensive Program

“TROSA is an exemplar of a comprehensive, long term, evidence-based model for treating substance use disorders. Effectively combining proven community-based and behaviorally-focused methods with clinically responsive therapies, TROSA offers unique opportunities for individuals to achieve and sustain their recovery. The program not only addresses behavioral, social and psychological issues associated with substance use disorders; it also offers tools and resources for its residents to enjoy a better life.”
