A substance abuse recovery group has bought 4.34 acres on Park Road in Lexington, near Old Cherokee Road.

According to Southern Visions Real Estate, the tract will be the future home of The Courage Center.

The non-profit organization offers community-based support services for families and young people 15 to 26 years old working on recovery from substance abuse.

“The Courage Center was born of a need of a local family,” according to a statement on its web site.

“Young people and families are seen as a priority, so that families can seek care and support with The Courage Center in and of themselves.

Construction is scheduled to begin soon, with completion expected in late summer.

Co-Founders Scotty and Susan Mill state that their mission is to be a community of abundant opportunities, love and compassion for young people and families seeking recovery.
