Desens House
Setting generations free one life at a time
We believe in the power of transforming lives through hope and healing
Located in Oswego, NY the Desens House is a faith-based, community-driven nonprofit dedicated to fostering hope and lasting freedom from addiction. We provide women in recovery with a supportive long-term home environment and comprehensive resources, empowering them to rebuild their lives and achieve sustained well-being.
A single life can have a domino effect of transformation for an entire community.
When we help one woman find lasting sobriety and dignity, her stability immediately affects the next domino: the healing of her family. This transformation breaks the generational cycle of addiction. Ultimately, this powerful ripple effect strengthens the entire Oswego community, proving that setting one life free sets generations free.
Rooted in Christian principles, we approach recovery as a holistic journey that requires spiritual foundation alongside practical support. We believe that sustained life transformation happens through the consistent presence of supportive and stable relationships. Our community is designed to break cycles of isolation, offering every woman a network of mentors, peers, and staff who walk alongside her, championing her growth and reinforcing her path toward lasting freedom.
We don’t just offer a safe bed; we offer a family. This transformation is sustained through consistent mentorship, the daily modeling of healthy coping strategies, steady encouragement, and practical resources like education, skill building, and vocational training. We walk right alongside every woman, giving her the support and tools she needs to build a future she can be proud of.
We can’t reshape our perception of how we view ourselves on our own. True healing demands community. Isolation fuels addiction; connection builds recovery. That is why The Desens House surrounds every woman with friends, mentors, and a loving community where they can safely give and receive love, creating the foundation necessary for lasting spiritual and emotional growth.
