Centerstone plans to open recovery home later this month

COLUMBUS, Ind. — Centerstone is preparing to open a recovery home on the north side of Columbus later this month for men seeking help for substance use disorders, the latest in a series of efforts in the Columbus community to provide housing for those in treatment.

The 4,519-square-foot facility, located at 1680 Whitney Court, can house up to 12 men and is expected to have its first residents by Aug. 17, said Jennifer Fillmore, director of substance abuse disorder residential and specialized services at Centerstone.

The facility will employ recovery coaches, therapists and an overnight house monitor, Fillmore said. Centerstone plans to hold virtual open houses on Aug. 13 and 14 that include virtual tours and a discussion on what kinds of services will be offered at the facility.

The building is located in the Columbus AirPark, a development area around the Columbus Municipal Airport. Centerstone of Indiana purchased the property for $250,000 on Dec. 20, 2017. Centerstone also has a facility in Columbus at 720 N. Marr Road.
