About HOW Foundation
HOW Foundation is a no-cost residential recovery program for adult men with alcohol or drug addiction, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The program is rooted in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, combining structured sober living with a strong work ethic and physical labor as core recovery tools. HOW Foundation offers a peer-led, accountability-driven environment with a six-month minimum stay, run by men who have completed the program themselves.
Twelve Step Residential Recovery for Men in Tulsa
HOW Foundation centers its residential program on the Twelve Steps, emphasizing community accountability, structured routine and physically demanding work as pathways to lasting sobriety. The program requires a six-month minimum commitment and is led entirely by staff who are program graduates, bringing lived recovery experience to every aspect of daily life.
Participants engage in a structured sober living environment where work, responsibility and peer support reinforce the principles of AA and NA. The program does not provide licensed clinical counseling, certified substance abuse treatment or onsite medical detox, and it is transparent about operating as a self-supporting, non-licensed recovery residence rather than a clinical facility. Families have shared powerful testimonials, including one parent who said the program helped her get her "daddy back" and another spouse crediting HOW Foundation with giving their marriage a second chance.
Peer Led Support and Long Term Commitment
Every staff member at HOW Foundation has completed the program at least once, creating a recovery community grounded in shared experience and mutual accountability. This peer-led model reinforces the value of sustained effort, work ethic and connection throughout the six-month residential stay and beyond.
