“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
MIKE HELMER
Executive Director
Randy’s House was borne out of a need in my life for structure, purpose, and accountability. I had been in and out of treatment centers for the better part of my adult life which put me in a unique position to understand where the need was for people in recovery. I hope with Randy’s House we can continue to reduce stigma within communities, work a plan for the individual, reintegrate addicts in to happy healthy lives, and give back when we can.

Lori Hackett, PRC
Intake Specialist/Coordinator; Peer Recovery Coach
My name is Lori Hackett. I am 58-years old and have been an active alcoholic most of my life. After several attempts to quit drinking on my own, and a handful of treatment facilities; my son and future daughter-in-law found Randy's House. I arrived scared, apprehensive and despondent with no hope for my recovery. But I jumped into the program as I considered it to be my last chance to live. I embraced the tools and knowledge that I acquired from therapy, meetings, groups, and the people in the program who I have come to know and love. I am now the Director of Community Outreach and Volunteer Operations, House Manager in the women's house and the Intake Specialist and Coordinator for those coming in to the program. Just as I had. I love both what I do, and the peers who surround me every day.
