About this Recovery Home
180 Recovery House is a men's sober living home in Jacksonville, Alabama, in Calhoun County, whose seat is Anniston. A nonprofit certified at Level III by the Alabama Alliance for Recovery Residences, it carries 24 beds on the affiliate's certified list.
A Nonprofit Men's Sober House in Jacksonville
The house serves men with substance use disorder and runs as a nonprofit, which shows up in the fee structure and in the range of services attached to the bed. The street address is not published, and placement runs through the organization. Jacksonville itself is a small college city built around Jacksonville State University, with a compact center and enough retail, food service and campus employment to absorb residents looking for a first job in recovery.
Level III Certification and What It Establishes for a Recovery Residence
Level III describes a supervised residence with staff, a written schedule and oversight above the house. Certification is the separate promise, and it is the checkable one: a published code of ethics, fees and rules disclosed before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process outside the house. 180 Recovery House publishes its own code of ethics as a downloadable document, which is a step past the minimum. Alabama does not license recovery residences, so this list is the only public standard available, and a house on it has volunteered for review.
The Three Phase Program at This Sober Living Home
The program runs in three phases and asks for a commitment of six months to a year. Residents earn privileges as they advance, which is the mechanism that makes a long stay tolerable and a short one incomplete. Throughout, the requirements hold: attend meetings, find a sponsor and work the steps, stay drug and alcohol free, and obtain employment unless disability makes that impossible. The organization frames its purpose in three parts: strengthening men facing addiction, building maintainable growth strategies and personal goals, and rebuilding self-worth.
What It Costs to Live in This Jacksonville Recovery Home
There is a one-time entry fee of $100, and resident fees are $175 a week. Residents on disability pay a reduced rate. Those are the published figures, and a nonprofit that states them plainly makes the first month's budget a solvable problem instead of a surprise.
Practical Support This Sober House Provides
Beyond the bed, the organization assists with finding employment, transportation to work, transportation to 12-step meetings, drug screening, transportation to mental health and medical appointments, budgeting and goal setting. In a county where transit barely exists outside Anniston, the transportation piece is the one that keeps a job and a treatment plan alive at the same time. It is also the service most often missing from a cheaper bed.
Calhoun County Recovery Housing in Northeast Alabama
Anniston is the county seat and holds the courthouse, the hospital and most of Calhoun County's outpatient providers, ten miles south of Jacksonville along Alabama Highway 21. The two cities function as one labor market. For a man leaving treatment or incarceration in northeast Alabama, Calhoun County recovery housing puts a certified bed, a court date and a paycheck inside the same short corridor, and Jacksonville sits at the quieter end of it.
