A Place to Land, Connect, and Grow — with Recovery at the Center
CLUB 17
Club 17 is a welcoming, community-based space for youth and young adults who want to explore their relationship with substance use, behaviors, and the patterns that impact their lives.
You don't need a referral.
You don't need to be in crisis.
You don't need to call yourself "in recovery".
WHO CLUB 17 IS FOR...
Club 17 serves youth ages 15–20 who are navigating substance use or addictive/compulsive behaviors and are open to engaging in structured Recovery Support Services.
THIS MAY INCLUDE YOUTH WHO:
-
Are questioning their relationship with substances
-
Want support making changes — even if they’re unsure what those changes look like
-
Are curious about how substances affect their emotions, relationships, or goals
-
Are seeking accountability and structured support
-
Want connection with peers who understand substance use and recovery
-
Feel safer in a space where substance use is openly acknowledged and not minimized
Participation in Club 17 includes structured Recovery Support Services delivered by Certified Recovery Support Workers (CRSWs) through Discovery Sessions and individual recovery support.
Services are non-clinical, strength-based, and recovery-focused.

“Before finding Austin 17, I had been to therapy, to outpatient programs, to inpatient programs—you name it. Nothing connected for me or made a difference, but Austin 17 and Jessie have been the difference for me and for other kids.” Amelia has recently celebrated over 20 months free from drugs and alcohol through A17H programming.

Est. 2022
The Austin17House was accredited by the state for juvenile court diversion through the NH Juvenile Court Diersion Network as we were seeing referrals for substance use-related offenses over the years.
It wasn't long before a partnership began to form between A17H and Chucky's Fight in Seabrook, NH. In collaboration Fight Club 17 was born, to better serve youth impacted by addiction as a whole.
Our Director
Jessie is a confident and resilient individual who has overcome addiction, finding both recovery and herself. It has since been her passion to bring this hope to others who need support.
She will be working with the Austin17House as an onsite Certified Recovery Support Worker and Masters-level Social Worker.
This partnership has also opened up doors to partner with Chucky's Fight, a non-profit that helps those in need of recovery services get the support and resources they need.
