How Foundation

About How Foundation – Austin, Texas

Unlike traditional landscaping companies that serve the greater Austin area, the H.O.W. Foundation is a unique tree trimming company that is made up of individuals who are overcoming addiction struggles. The H.O.W Foundation serves residents of Austin, Texas, by providing tree services to residents who need landscaping services. While residents in Austin benefit from the tree trimming services offered through the H.O.W. Foundation, the workers behind the mission are the ones who stand to benefit the most from this alternative addiction recovery program. If you are overcoming substance use and are ready to gain relevant job readiness skills, you can seek supportive care through this innovative approach to recovery offered through this nonprofit organization.

This innovative treatment approach mimics work therapy. It allows you to gain relevant job readiness skills. The skills you’ll develop include learning how to communicate effectively to complete a task, setting deadlines and meeting them, and working through a structured day. This allows you to build the diligence to seek relevant employment outside of the HOW Foundation. Recovering individuals obtain job titles in this organization including estimators, technicians and even assistant program director.

One of the best parts of this recovery program is if you’re interested in labor work such as landscaping, you can go on to continue this skilled labor outside of the H.O.W. Foundation. You’ll gain real-world skills and apply with other companies as you move up in this career path.

This is a very specialized approach to recovery, and as such, it might not be the right approach for everyone. For example, if you need more intensive support or are at the start of your recovery journey, you might not be ready to benefit from the H.O.W. Foundation. This program is best for individuals who are at the tail end of an outpatient program, are in a sober living home, and are ready to transition to being productive members of the community.
