A Community Partnership That Strengthens Recovery
A Community Partnership That Strengthens Recovery
Sobriety doesn't live inside one house. It lives inside a community.
Gambit Recovery maintains an active working relationship with the City of Poulsbo Recovery Resource Center, a local initiative connecting individuals and families to peer support, recovery meetings, education, and community-based services throughout Kitsap County.
This partnership means our residents aren't just living in a structured home — they're plugged into a local recovery network the day they move in. When the house meeting ends, the support doesn't. It continues through the relationships, resources, and accountability that exist in the wider Poulsbo community.
Long-term sobriety is built through structure and community working together. In Poulsbo, both are in place.

In 2023, King County recorded an overdose death rate above 50 per 100,000 residents — among the highest in Washington State.
