In the early 1970’s, a small group of Fargo-Moorhead citizens saw an ever-growing need for a halfway house in their community. At that time, North Dakota ranked at the bottom of the list for Intermediate Care Facilities for individuals with substance use disorder. So, on June 23rd, 1975, ShareHouse Inc. was born; North Dakota’s first public halfway house. At that time, there were only 6 beds available. With the growing presence of patients seeking recovery services, ShareHouse eventually needed a larger space. In 1989, ShareHouse moved to an apartment complex and then later expanded with the addition of another residential facility.
Since its conception, ShareHouse has continued to expand. ShareHouse is now offering individualized residential care in Grand Forks, ND while continuing to operate at its main location in Fargo. Between the two facilities, there are 103 beds to serve patients. Over the years, ShareHouse has also expanded its recovery services, to continue providing the most comprehensive individualized care possible. It is now offering a walk-in assessment clinic, individualized outpatient care, mental health services, supportive housing, public housing, and more. Today, ShareHouse is one of the longest-running treatment centers in the region and is one of the most respected and trusted dual diagnosis treatment programs in the upper Midwest.
