A different kind of sober house
We believe in treating our clients with respect and dignity. Unlike other sober houses, halfway houses, or rehabilitation centers, residents at Roadhouse Recovery are treated like family. We value privacy, so there’s a maximum of two residents per room. Each resident gets their own bed–no bunks or cots here. From this foundation, residents can build a sustainable sober life.
Our methods have found successful results, too. One of our house managers got his start at Roadhouse Recovery as a resident. Many others go on to live full, sober lives and active members of their communities.
“Roadhouse Recovery is dedicated to helping recovering addicts and alcoholics transition back into society. Living there helped me build friendships so that my recovery circle was big enough to stay sober after I moved out.”
— Heath G., former resident
Our Design for Living Sober
-
SERVE
Part of living sober is taking different actions. Each resident is responsible for maintaining chores, and is held accountable by others. Residents are required to have full-time jobs and maintain a service commitment for a 12-step group. This teaches the importance of taking the right action even–especially–when we don’t want to take it. As addicts and alcoholics, we often put ourselves first; in recovery, it’s important to learn to serve others first.
Holding each other accountable builds important bonds that contribute to meaningful relationships–a necessary part of early recovery.
-
LIVE
For many in recovery, getting sober necessitates starting over. Our team knows this all too well. That’s why we have resources like job placement services and resume coaches available for residents who need help finding employment.
The intimate, family-like nature of our houses means residents can share openly about their own experiences getting a job in early sobriety with newer residents.

RECOVER
As most people in recovery know, so much of the spiritual work of recovery happens sitting around talking with fellow recovering addicts and alcoholics.
As such, our residents are required to participate in 12-step meetings such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and work with sponsors to experience the 12 steps. Additionally, we ensure our residents have access to any out-patient counseling or other support they need to seek long-term recovery.
