About this Recovery Home
NEA Divine is a recovery residence in Jonesboro, Arkansas, the seat of Craighead County, operated by an AARR-certified operator. The program serves both men and women, and the Arkansas Alliance of Recovery Residences lists the program at Level II.
Men's and Women's Recovery Housing in Jonesboro
The program houses men and women, and it houses them in separate homes. That structure gives northeast Arkansas something scarce: a single certified operator an applicant can approach regardless of gender, with two households behind it. The Arkansas Alliance of Recovery Residences lists the program as covering two homes and sixty-five beds. Street addresses are not published for the individual houses, and placement runs through the operator.
An AARR-Certified Recovery Housing Operator in Northeast Arkansas
Arkansas does not license recovery residences. The only external standard in the state is voluntary certification through the Arkansas Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. A certified operator has committed in writing to a code of ethics, to handing an applicant the fees and house rules before move-in, to keeping a written relapse and discharge policy, and to a complaint process that runs outside the house. AARR's directory names this program, not its individual houses, so anyone applying should confirm which specific home the placement is for and what its certification covers.
Peer Recovery Support Alongside Sober Living
The organization describes itself as a beacon of hope and support for people seeking recovery, with a stated vision of building community through shared lived experience focused on whole-person wellness. It publishes a peer recovery service line and describes meeting people where they are in their recovery, lifestyle, emotional health and physical health, inside what it calls a non-judgmental safe zone. Peer support delivered by the same organization that provides the bed changes what the housing is. The person checking in on a resident has been through it, and the relationship does not end when the resident moves out.
Craighead County and Delta Recovery Homes
Jonesboro is the seat of Craighead County and the largest city in northeastern Arkansas, the commercial and medical center for the whole northern Delta. Arkansas State University is in the city, along with two hospital systems, the county courthouse, and the retail and light manufacturing employment that draws people from a wide rural area. For someone leaving treatment in a Delta town of two thousand people, Jonesboro is usually the nearest place where a job, an outpatient appointment and a court date are all reachable. Recovery housing in this part of the state is thin, which makes a certified operator here disproportionately important.
How to Reach This Jonesboro Sober Living Program
Applications and current bed availability go through the operator, and the exact address of a placement is given during that process. Because the program is certified, several answers are owed in writing before move-in: the fee and what it covers, the house rules, the relapse and discharge policy, and the route for a complaint outside the house. Beyond those, ask which home the placement is for, whether a house manager lives on site, how many residents share it, how soon a resident is expected to be working, whether the peer support services are included, and whether prescribed medication for opioid use disorder is accepted.
