Craig Fruen Life Transformation Center

Into the Valley

Damascus Way established a new 31-bed facility in Golden Valley in January 2021. The residence houses persons who are seeking to recover from substance use disorder (SUD), maintain mental wellness, and reintegrate into society. Men from Work Release, Intensive Supervised Release, MSOP (the Minnesota Sex Offender Program), and the community are housed in our Golden Valley location. Additionally, we continue to have the ability to accept self-referrals from those who are experiencing homelessness, mental illness, or a substance use disorder. In order to help people achieve effective long-term employment and housing, our program provides peer recovery support.

Through our programming and community reintegration ties, our peer recovery specialists and transformation coordinators work to forge relationships with our men that are both positive and transformative. These initiatives are concentrated on enduring connections with employment, housing options, and community connections. This includes local churches, recovery ministries, recovery centers, and other non-profits that may support men in reentry and recovery in a variety of ways. Our services also include volunteer donations, mentorship opportunities, and other services like transportation help.
