In Miracle on Market, Jay P. Davidson shares his experiences and thoughts about the residential, long-term, social model recovery program he created as co-founder of The Healing Place, in hopes that this model, in its current form, will be sustained and maintained long after he is gone.




The vision of The Healing Place is that everyone they serve will lead a meaningful and productive life. Some facts from their 30-year history:


More than 6,000 alumniOver 150,000 people served8,000+ individuals served annuallyThe continuum of care has expanded from off-the-street, to detox, to long-term and outpatient recovery servicesIn 1991, the annual budget was around $300,000 to serve 80 men in an overnight shelterIn 2021, the annual budget is $13 million and serves nearly 1,000 clients across 3 campuses each dayAs in the beginning, The Healing Place continues to serve those in need of help regardless of race, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, or economic status
