About The Magdalen House 

The Magdalen House is a nonprofit organization helping individuals with alcoholism achieve sobriety and sustain recovery at no cost and based on 12-Step spiritual principles. Founded in Dallas in 1987, The Magdalen House remains the only agency in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to offer comprehensive recovery services – without insurance or government funding – 100% free of charge.

We are committed to helping alcoholic women, men, and their families achieve long-term, sustainable recovery by presenting the simple problem of alcoholism along with a practical application of the solution through the following programs:

First Step: A two-week residential program to begin sobriety and build a strong foundation.
Next Step: A three-phase, three-month program offering structure and tools for sustained recovery.
Community: Daily meetings, events, and family support for every stage of recovery.
Outreach: Partnerships and education that connect individuals to resources and reduce stigma around the disease.
