This Must Be the Place

A look at the Voyage residences where comfort, community, and growth begin

At Voyage, healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum—and it sure doesn’t happen alone. That’s why community living is at the heart of our program. For young men who’ve been isolated or skating by without much accountability, the Voyage residences offer something different: brotherhood, structure, and the daily rhythm of shared responsibility.

We’ve got two homes here in Jupiter, Florida. The Ocean House sits by the water, right where the Indian River Lagoon opens up toward the inlet. It’s breezy, peaceful, and teaming with aquatic life. The Country House is tucked back in the woods near Jonathan Dickinson State Park. It’s quiet, spacious, and grounded. Two different residences—but both fulfilling the same purpose: to help young men feel safe, supported, and ready to heal.

Not Just a Roof Over Your Head

These aren’t just places to sleep—they’re homes with heart. All the details matter—from the food stocked in the kitchen pantry to the furnishings in the communal rooms and the bedrooms—everything is by design, everything is chosen with care. We’ve learned that when young men feel comfortable, seen, and respected, they’re more open to the hard work of recovery.

The Voyage residences each have room to gather as a community, and room to be quiet and introspective. There are spaces for shared meals, movie nights, video game tournaments, and being together; and there are spaces for quiet moments when someone just needs a couch and a little breathing room. Our full-time chef keeps our kitchens stocked and the meals nourishing, and house meetings bring everyone together to stay on the same page.

It’s comfort with intention. A sense of ease that doesn’t let you off the hook—but helps you settle in and show up.

A Structure That Matches the Journey

Our guys are assigned their bed with a lot of intention. Our housing is structured to reflect and support where each young man is in the treatment process—and what kind of environment will best support his next step.

Ocean House is for the men who are newer to Voyage. There’s more structure and more shared accountability, with a lot of emphasis on stabilization and early recovery work. Everyone’s still finding their footing, and being surrounded by peers who are doing the same helps things click faster.

Country House is for guys in the second half of the program. By then, the focus starts to shift to preparing for what’s coming next. Some guys are working toward sober living, others are heading back to school or returning to their family and career. There’s still support, of course, but we start giving them a little more room to consider the next legs of their journey they’ll take beyond our doors.

Both houses are filled with opportunities—some structured, some spontaneous—for each man to practice real-life skills in real-life settings and take ownership of their recovery.  

Where the Philosophy Comes to Life

We talk a lot about evidence-based therapy and experiential learning at Voyage. But our houses? That’s where it all gets lived out.

The Voyage residences reflect what we believe:

• That comfort matters, but it should never be a crutch.

• That connection makes the hard days a little easier.

• That structure, when done right, helps you stand taller—not feel smaller.

• And that recovery doesn’t happen only in the therapist’s office—it’s shaped in kitchens, backyards, and heartfelt conversations before lights out.

Our residences offer young men a place to try again. To learn how to live differently. To build habits and relationships that last long after they leave Voyage.

Where the heart is

At the end of the day, we chose these homes for healing. And every detail—from who sleeps where to what’s cooking on the stove—serves that mission. Step by step, day by day, young men at Voyage are learning how to live in community, take care of themselves and each other, and move forward with dignity.

Because at Voyage, recovery isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something we live, together.
