  • Organization Description:

    Another chance is what we offer at The Extension—a licensed residential recovery program serving homeless men and women of Cobb County who suffer from alcohol and other addictions. Our residents usually come to us by word of mouth but they are also referred to us by various Cobb County government services and nonprofits. Would-be residents undergo a rigorous assessment to assure that they are genuinely committed to starting a new chapter in their lives. Then begins the long, tough challenge of reclaiming their lives from the clutches of chemical dependency.
