About Gambit Recovery: Structured Sober Living with Purpose
Structured Sober Living Rooted in Integrity
At Gambit Recovery, we provide stable, affordable sober living homes designed for people ready to stay clean and build a life with purpose. Our mission is simple: structure, support, and accountability in an environment where recovery can actually take root.
Extracting Individuals From Rock Bottom
Recovery isn't just about getting clean—it's about staying clean. Gambit Recovery offers a safe, comfortable, and supportive home for those ready to move forward.
We empower participants to reconnect with themselves, their families, and their communities. With structure, clear expectations, and peer-driven accountability, we eliminate relapse triggers and create space for real change.
Where It Started
Gambit Recovery was founded by Thomas Fay and Nathan Mitchell—two people who met in sober living in 2011. Both had experienced the revolving door of relapse and saw the cracks in traditional sober living programs.
They wanted to build something better—something affordable, highly structured, run with integrity, and focused on long-term success.
What started as a shared vision is now a growing nationwide network of sober living homes helping people truly rebuild.
Why Most Relapse—and How We Prevent It
Getting sober is just the beginning. Many people leave treatment feeling confident—only to return home and realize their old environments haven’t changed.
Temptation. Isolation. Toxic people. No accountability.
That’s what causes relapse.
At Gambit Recovery, we replace all of that with:
Mandatory drug testing
Required 12-step meeting attendance
Daily structure and responsibility
Strong sober community support
Help with employment, stability, and purpose
We don’t just offer a bed—we offer a plan.
Our Residents Are:
✔ Tested regularly for drugs and alcohol
✔ Required to find and maintain employment
✔ Expected to attend 12-step meetings or other recovery support
✔ Held accountable by staff and peers
✔ Empowered to take ownership of their lives
This Is About More Than Staying Clean
Participants in our homes often arrive at a crossroads—burned out, isolated, and unsure where to start. Through daily structure, community support, and the removal of chaos, they find the confidence to grow again.
They heal mentally, emotionally, and physically. Then they pay it forward—by helping the next person walk the path.
