Gratitude in Action, Empowering Recovery
By actively expressing gratitude through donations and support, we collectively empower individuals on their journey to recovery, creating a ripple effect of positive change in our community and paying forward the gift of sobriety to those who need it most.
Founded in Dallas in 1987, The Magdalen House is the only privately-funded nonprofit organization in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to offer comprehensive recovery services, without requiring insurance or any form of payment. A staggering one in nine adults suffers from alcoholism, translating to more than 667,000 people in the DFW area alone. Alarmingly, less than 10% of those affected will seek help or receive care. After 37 years, The Magdalen House continues to play a vital role in changing the lives of alcoholic individuals and their families, ultimately creating a healthier and thriving community.
The Magdalen House presents the simple problem of alcoholism, along with a practical application of the solution through the following programs:
