Our Vision and Commitment to Your Recovery
Our vision is to provide a safe, structured, and affordable residential facility to every individual with a substance use addiction.
Izzy’s House is a home-like environment where they can be free of stress, triggers, and all mind and mood-altering substances and find the opportunity for a new way of life they never imagined possible. We provide access to other programs, such as mental health support, and resources to help you in your journey to recovery.

While Timothy has walked the path of clinical counseling, his heart lies in peer support — a field that allows him to connect directly, authentically, and powerfully with individuals navigating the darkest chapters of their lives. He sees peer support not as a job but as a calling — a sacred space where trust, understanding, and lived empathy transform lives. His approach blends evidence-based practices with personal testimony, rooted in a deep understanding of addiction as a chronic and complex disease rather than a moral failing.
Timothy believes that true change happens not from behind a desk, but on the front lines — in the shelters, on the streets, in the halfway houses, and wherever the fight for recovery is happening. He is unafraid to meet people where they are, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. He stands by the belief that harm reduction is not a compromise but a crucial and compassionate strategy in saving lives. In his view, telling someone to "just say no" is not only ineffective, it is dismissive of the nuanced reality of addiction.
Having worked in both clinical and housing settings, Timothy brings a rare and invaluable versatility to the fight against substance use disorders. He has the training to understand systemic challenges and the personal courage to engage with individuals that many shy away from — the ones labeled “difficult,” “non-compliant,” or “too far gone.” To Timothy, no one is beyond hope, and every life is worthy of love, dignity, and a chance at redemption.
His work is not driven by accolades or recognition, but by the quiet knowledge that someone out there — someone’s son, daughter, parent, or friend — is still breathing today because he showed up, listened, advocated, and believed in them when no one else would. In every interaction, Timothy TJ Brinnon demonstrates that compassion is not weakness — it is strength, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to humanity.


I spent 25 years in addiction—but by the grace of God, Jesus changed my life. Today, I’ve been clean going on 3 years, and my heart is fully in helping others who are still struggling find their way to freedom.
I’m an ordained pastor, and my passion is walking alongside my brothers and sisters in addiction as they discover that recovery is possible. Whether it’s through faith, encouragement, or just showing up for someone who needs support—I’m here for it.
Outside of that, I’m a big fan of the outdoors. I love to hunt, fish, and catch a good game. But nothing fires me up more than seeing people find hope, healing, and a new path forward.
If I can support you or someone you care about on this journey, I’m always willing to talk.


With over five years of hands-on experience in the recovery field, Tela Gibson brings heart, hope, and healing to the work she does every day. As a Qualified Behavioral Health Specialist (QBHS), Tela is passionate about helping others find freedom from addiction. For her, there’s nothing more powerful than witnessing that moment when someone’s eyes light up and they start to believe in themselves again.
Tela sees it as an honor to walk alongside people on their recovery journey—offering support, encouragement, and a listening ear when it's needed most. Outside of work, she loves spending time with her dogs and family, writing poetry, and diving into the deep questions of the human mind. Her approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and a sincere belief that recovery is always possible.
