Since 1995, Dare U To Care Outreach Ministries has provided a Christian-based residential program of recovery from substance abuse and criminal behavior to thousands of men and women, regardless of their backgrounds.

Headquartered in South Los Angeles, Dare U To Care is a 501 c) (3), state-licensed organization. Its program is a six-to-twelve month 12-step social model therapeutic community with an emphasis on spiritual development, improving life skills, and especially substance abuse education.

Dare U To Care provides the ideal recovery atmosphere for men and women who have been displaced or made homeless by substance abuse, criminal activity, domestic violence, incarceration, and extended dealings with the parole and probation systems. Many clients are ordered to enroll through the courts, while others sign up through the urging of family, friends or workplaces.

Clients of Dare U To care are provided housing, meals, one-on-one counseling, group meetings, access to medical and social services, group meetings and activities, and opportunities for career training and ongoing education.
