Welcome to The Gilead House
Real People. Real Change. Real Results.
Meet the new executive director of the Gilead House, Bakir Coulter.
Bakir has over 15 years of experience in leadership and mentorship, as well as active military involvement. Her faith drives her, and she has a strong commitment to expanding access to compassionate care for the women who are clients at Gilead House. Her vision closely aligns with our mission to provide comprehensive addiction treatment in a residential setting while fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can achieve lasting recovery, as well as a productive, lawful, and healthy life.
We would also like to express our gratitude to Shari Spicer, whose dedication and leadership have significantly strengthened our organization and prepared us for this exciting new phase. Shari stepped into her mother’s role and has done an exceptional job guiding us.

We are confident that her guidance will inspire continued growth and innovation while honoring the values that have always defined Gilead House.

Our Testimonials
I was a resident at the Gilead House, and the program taught me how to live a normal life. I completed the program and my probation, and I am now employed as a support staff specialist at the Gilead House. I now share my story and help other women with their addictions.

The Gilead House has saved my life and my purpose again. I came here from jail; I had lost my home, and I had lost my kids in a DCS case. I have been an addict for most of my adult life, but with the help of the Gilead House, I am gaining everything back. I have been clean for over a year, I have gotten my driver’s license, I now get four visits a week with my children, my DCS case is coming to a close, and I am looking for a place to reunite. I now work at a job that I love. I bought a car, and I look forward to the future. I love the Gilead House. Ms. Reba and the staff have changed my life and helped make everything possible for me to grow and succeed.

The Gilead House has been a safe place to develop the tools needed to nurture and maintain my sobriety. More than that, these women and this house have become a second home and family, full of love, encouragement, guidance, and hope. I am so grateful to Ms. Reba, Kylee, Sherry, and all of the staff for believing in me. With their help, I have learned that God has a greater plan for me. I am worthy and I can succeed. Thank God for the Gilead House and all who serve there.
