About Us
What is the 24 Hour Club?
The Dallas 24 Hour Club is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides housing, support and guidance for men and women who are in trouble with alcohol and drugs and who have a desire to achieve sobriety and get thier lives re-started again in a positive manner at little or no cost to the taxpayer! The 24 Hour Club was founded in 1969 in a donated office space; this space was for alcoholics to have a place to meet 24 hours per day, hence the name. It has been located in the East Dallas area for over 37 years and has been located at 4636 Ross Avenue for over 18 years. We are just 6 blocks east of the New Arts District in Downtown Dallas.
It is our goal to introduce these men and women into the larger recovery community and into independent living. The Club is not a boarding house, nor is it a rehabilitation center or a medical facility. Rather, the Club seeks to facilitate recovery through adherence to the practices and principles of a 12-step program which has saved many lives, careers and families. We suggest anyone heavily intoxicated, MUST first go to a medical detox facility BEFORE trying to gain admission here. We do not “sober-up” anyone here, we are the next step after rehab and after detox.
