Four Rivers Outreach, Inc. is a community-based program for those with substance abuse issues. Four Rivers was founded in 2006 to help men and women overcome their struggles with addiction. What started out as a one-room project providing recovery classes has, through the support of the community, grown into an organization that provides an intensive residential transition program for men, short-term (1 – 2 days) housing for men who are in transition, dental services for low-income adults with no dental insurance, and more.

In 2013, Four Rivers launched a banner printing business. In 2014 Four Rivers expanded further by opening a Thrift Store at 425 W. Lamar St. In 2016, the banner business was moved out of the main building on Rusk St., into a dedicated space in the Thrift Store. In 2019, Four Rivers began doing construction site cleanup. The banner business employs a former client. The Thrift Store and construction site cleanup business are staffed by men in the program. All three businesses offer training opportunities to the men in the residential transition program, and provide revenue for all the programs at Four Rivers.
