About The Fellowship Home

Fellowship Home of Winston-Salem, NC, Inc. is a twelve-step
oriented, non-sectarian, non-profit half-way house for men recovering
from substance abuse. Within a semi-structured residential setting
that offers opportunitites for growth and change in a supportive
atmosphere, our clients are actively involved in their own progress
from dependency to self-reliance.
Making a Difference in the Community
 With
a focus on transforming men into productive members of the community,
The Fellowship Home provides a structured
program for its residents. The Fellowship Home's
program is a two-year Comprehensive Relapse Prevention program consisting
of a residential component of up to nine months and a minimum of
fifteen months of after-care. Residents participate in individual
and group therapy facilitated by a substance abuse counselor. All
residents are also required to attend twelve-step meetings. Each
resident participates in a multi-tasked Phase Program, which measures
progress toward self-sufficiency. The after-care component of our
program offers continued support to former residents.
Our History
The Fellowship Home, formerly the J. J. Gentry House, one
of the most architecturally distinguished homes in the West End
neighborhood near downtown Winston-Salem, is a massive two-story
brick dwelling designed in an eclectic style combination of Colonial
Revival and Craftsman by prominent local architect C. Gilbert Humphreys.
Built in 1917, the Gentry House became a half-way house in 1962
for men recovering from alcoholism. Since that time, The Fellowship
Home has expanded its services to serve men recovering from
substance abuse. In 1985, The Fellowship Home became a United
Way partner agency.
The Fellowship Home Alumni Association
 All
residents of The Fellowship Home become members
of the Fellowship Home Alumni Association. Residents who successfully
complete the residential component of The Fellowship Home
program earn membership into the Fellowship Home Alumni Association
as voting members . While these men are considered self-sufficient,
The Fellowship Home Alumni Association provides continued
peer support and guidance.
