Nearly all of us are touched in some way by the disease of addiction, whether through family members, friends, coworkers, or acquaintances. Alcoholism and addiction rob individuals of everything they love and value.

Located in Beaufort, South Carolina, MercyMe Sober Living has long-term recovery homes for men and women.

Our goal is simple - freedom from alcohol and drug addiction.

MercyMe Sober Living was founded and is run by people in recovery who believe they owe a debt to other alcoholics and addicts who helped them achieve a life liberated from alcohol and drugs. The MercyMe Sober Living family feels that it is a duty, an honor, and a privilege to help the still sick and suffering.

Learn more about our Mission

MercyMe Sober Living was founded by James Fordham whose vision to give back to the community stems from his deep gratitude for the help he received for his own long-term recovery. After founding and working with Lowcountry Hope House for several years, he was inspired to explore the idea of Medicine Assisted Treatment (MAT).

In 2022, a group of people including James, a local doctor specializing in the treatment of addiction, and friends in recovery established sober living who may use MAT as part of their outside treatment program.

Since his own recovery decades ago, our founder James Fordham has always felt he owed a debt to other alcoholics and addicts. He never forgot the kind, patient men who helped him through his own recovery from alcoholism.
