TROSA
Founded in 1994, TROSA is a licensed, long-term, nonprofit residential treatment program for men and women with substance use disorders. We have two campuses (one in Durham and one in Winston-Salem that provide comprehensive treatment and services and a department dedicated to transitional housing and post-program care for our graduates. TROSA provides free housing, clothing, meals, and all daily personal care needs; evidence-based counseling and daily therapeutic activities; vocational and life skills training; health services, including specialty care; education opportunities to earn a GED, take college courses, and earn certifications; continuing care for program graduates; and more. We provide our services at no cost, and individuals do not need insurance. TROSA is designed as a multi-year structured program. Keeping our program free of charge and multi-year provides residents the time, tools, and opportunities to focus on sustaining recovery. Our approach is community-minded and peer-led. We provide a network of individuals in recovery to help support our residents throughout their program. The goal is that participants define and achieve goals to make the changes they want and leave our program with a strong support network and the plans and tools to continue practicing healthy behaviors learned while in treatment. Addressing residents’ emotional and mental health is a critical component of our program. TROSA employs professional, licensed staff counselors, Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors, and Peer Support Specialists. We have had a long-standing clinical partnership with Duke University School of Medicine and Duke Psychiatry & Behavioral Health. Through our on-campus staff and our clinical partners, we offer individual and group counseling and specialty care to complement daily therapeutic activities and learning. TROSA’s staff and evidence-based program have received numerous awards and we are a proud and active member of the recovery community. TROSA is thankful for the many programmatic partnerships established for our residents and the widespread community support we have received over the past three decades. Together, we empower our residents to rebuild their lives, reconnect with their families, and reclaim their futures. TROSA is an innovative, multi-year residential program that empowers people with substance use disorders to be productive, recovering individuals by providing comprehensive treatment, experiential vocational training, education, and continuing care.
TROSA’s core values are honesty, courage, commitment, and community. Honesty is essential for personal and communal integrity, accountability, and trust. Courage is important for change, standing up and doing the right thing, taking chances, accepting challenges, and learning from our mistakes. Commitment gives us hope and discipline. Our commitment supports our belief in ourselves, each other, and our community. Community allows us to work and support one another. We learn together to be compassionate and reliable.
In our thirty years of service, TROSA has grown in every way possible—most notably in our facilities, our program services, our staff, and our partnerships—all with the goal of serving more North Carolinians in need of effective, comprehensive long-term treatment. After thirty years of serving North Carolinians, TROSA opened our first-ever residential campus outside of Durham in 2023. We welcomed our first residents to our new, licensed Winston-Salem campus in April 2023. Called “TROSA Triad,” to honor the Triad location of our new campus, our goal for the campus is to serve two hundred residents at this campus. We are actively upgrading and building new residential and community buildings at our Durham campus. We recently completed new award-winning residential buildings and a large community center for our women's program. We are building a new male dormitory and upgrading/expanding our cafeteria space in our main Durham campus. These projects provide spaces that will promote community engagement among residents; increase our program and resource efficiency; and expand our capacity to help more individuals needing our comprehensive residential treatment services. Information about our program and campus is at our website: www.trosainc.org.

Josh’s Hope Foundation
Josh’s Hope was co-founded by Steve and Julie Jarrell Bailey in 2010 following the 2008 murder of their son, Josh, who lived with lifelong mental health issues and learning disabilities. Josh was adopted by the Baileys in 1996 at the age of 8 and lost his Medicaid benefits on his 18th birthday, leaving him unable to consistently access his mental health treatment. Without the former structure of services and supports he formerly had in place, Josh struggled with stability and began to self-medicate. Always wanting to fit in with others, he was easily exploited. In the end, these things led to him being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people and it cost him his life. The Baileys felt that if there had been a program in place able to offer him structured days with job skills training in a supportive environment, Josh would still be alive. Since no such program existed, they decided to create one. Josh's Hope Foundation provides a unique experience of personal support and on-the-job training to help those with mental health challenges work to improve their health, live a self-directed life, and achieve their full potential.
Tools for Hope (T4H) at Josh's Hope is an on-the-job training experience providing multiple tools for participants to meet individual life goals and build self-confidence. The T4H program provides opportunities for social engagement, peer leadership, future planning, and other relevant group programming - all of which are tools for success beyond a traditional vocational training. Program participants learn valuable skills in woodworking, welding, plasma cutting, basic computer, and an agricultural education while also receiving therapeutic support onsite from Certified Peer Support Specialists. Opportunities are available for paid, part-time on-the-job training positions. Initial program admission interviews help to determine the best path for individual success and growth.
