Recovery looks different for everyone.
Randy’s House creates safe, supportive spaces where people navigating substance use can find connection, resources, and multiple pathways toward recovery. We meet people where they are and help them build healthier, more stable lives at their own pace.
Our Story
Built from personal experience.Inspired by the life and accidental death of his older brother, Randy, Mike Helmer founded Randy’s House in April 2016 with a vision of creating multiple pathways to recovery for people with substance use disorders.
Since then, Randy’s House has grown into a highly personalized and inclusive recovery community, providing housing, peer support, recovery coaching, harm reduction services, and connections to resources throughout West Michigan.

WHAT IS RANDY’S HOUSE?
We are level 3 housing, which is classified as prevention, not treatment. We have housing in the Greenville and Newaygo areas for both men and women. We offer recovery coaching, in-house IOP, peer support recovery services, multiple pathways, and direct connection to community resources.
Volunteer Work
We believe that a connection with the community is vital for sustained recovery. All of our residents are required to volunteer a set amount of hours per week. We are always eager for new volunteering opportunities! If you are an organization in need of volunteers, please feel free to contact us.
