Project SOAR Recovery Residences 1231 NE 15th Avenue Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Project SOAR Recovery Residences - 1231 NE 15th Avenue is a men's recovery home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in Broward County. The 33304 address is the one the organization publishes as its main Fort Lauderdale location, and admissions for its houses run through it.

The Front Door of This Fort Lauderdale Sober Living Operation

Northeast 15th Avenue is where inquiries land. A man calling about any Project SOAR address is talking to people at this one, which shortens the distance between a first phone call and a bed. The organization describes an open-door approach to staff contact, and a house that also serves as the operator's front door tends to have someone reachable more hours of the day than a scattered set of addresses would.

A Men's Sober House on the Northeast Side

Residents are men. The house sits in the 33304 grid between Sunrise Boulevard and the northeast neighborhoods, a walkable part of the city with bus service on the main corridors and the beach a couple of miles east. Fort Lauderdale is the seat of Broward County, and the courthouse, the county administration and the main transit center are all south of here inside a short ride.

What Residents of This Recovery Residence Are Expected to Do

The program is built on twelve-step participation, attendance at meetings outside the house, and residents carrying their share of chores and upkeep. A drug and alcohol free household is the baseline every other expectation rests on. None of that is unusual in Florida recovery housing, and the value is in it being written down and applied the same way at every address the operator runs.

Certification Standards for Florida Recovery Homes

Florida runs recovery residence certification as a voluntary program through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, which the state's Department of Children and Families approved for that role. Certification obliges a residence to hand over its fees and rules in writing before someone moves in, to keep a documented relapse and discharge policy, and to submit to complaint review. Ask the operator directly about the status of any specific house.

More on The Sober House Others who took the first step I entered Project SOAR after having experienced several other really negative halfway houses in south Florida. I have been here for 4 months now and it has been an extremely positive experience and my life is finally turning around for the better. We just had a Christmas tree decorating contest - the staff here really do care about the residents. They brought us a big Christmas tree, lights, and even decorations. For Thanksgiving, they brought us turkeys and food for those who did not have a family. Great place! Thank you. Michael M.
