The Row Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Row is a men's recovery home in Delray Beach, Florida, in Palm Beach County. RECO Institute runs it as a connected group of five houses sharing a single property, which makes it the largest of the men's residences the organization operates.

Five Connected Men's Sober Houses on One Property

The five houses are named The Carrano, The Parker, The Scheetz, The Kurczewski and The McClure. Each is its own household, and a long cobblestone path ties them together across a shared backyard. The arrangement gives residents two things at once: a small household of the size that peer accountability actually works at, and a larger community they can step into when the small household gets claustrophobic. Moving a resident between houses here does not require moving him off the property.

Shared Grounds at This Delray Beach Recovery Residence

The property carries a large shared backyard with a volleyball court, along with fresh landscaping and modern appliances and open floor plans in the houses themselves. A volleyball court is a scheduling device. It puts men outside together in the early evening without anyone having to organize it, and the hours after work are the ones early recovery is worst at filling.

Staff Presence Across These Men's Recovery Homes

The grounds include dedicated workspace for the organization's behavioral health technicians. Staff working from the property, not dropping in, changes the response time when something goes wrong at nine at night, and it means the people who know the residents are present during the hours a house is least supervised. That is a structural difference from peer-run housing where the nearest staff member is a phone call away.

Recovery Housing in Delray Beach, Palm Beach County

The exact address is not published and placement runs through the operator. Delray Beach sits on the Atlantic coast in the southern half of Palm Beach County, twenty miles below West Palm Beach, the county seat. Interstate 95, US Highway 1, Tri-Rail and Palm Tran all serve the city, and its recovery community is among the densest in the country.

Certification for Sober Living Homes in Florida

Certification is voluntary in Florida and runs through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, the only credentialing entity approved for residences by the state's Department of Children and Families. It obliges a house to disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, publish an ethics code, and accept outside complaint review. Ask the operator about the current status of this residence.
