60 Years of Providing Hope:

In a small house in the City of Indio, California, a struggling couple opened the doors of their home to eight men in need of alcohol and drug recovery in 1963 and became a non-profit benefit corporation (501c3) in 1978.  They hosted AA meetings nightly and provided their guests with the support needed to abstain from using.

From that simple gesture of generosity and dedication and these humble beginnings, ABC Recovery Center was realized.  Nearly 60 years later, ABC Recovery Center occupies twenty-four buildings on a 11.8 acre campus including the couple’s original home which still stands on the edge of the property.
