A Short-Term Stay Focused on Recovery, Stability, and Next Steps

Cheyenne Nicole Respite House provides a safe, supportive residential environment for individuals who are continuing their journey toward wellness and recovery. Our program offers a completely free five-day stay designed to help individuals transition successfully after treatment, incarceration, crisis, or other difficult life circumstances.
