Project SOAR Recovery Residences NW 16th Court Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Project SOAR Recovery Residences - NW 16th Court is a men's recovery residence in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in Broward County. The house sits on a short 33311 street north of Sunrise Boulevard, among a group of addresses the operator keeps within walking distance of one another.

What the Weekly Fee Covers at This Sober House

Project SOAR publishes weekly rates of $200 to $250 and monthly rates of $750 to $950, with utilities, Wi-Fi, television, laundry and linens included. That inclusion list is the part people underestimate. A man leaving treatment with a first paycheck three weeks away can budget against a single number, and he does not arrive to discover that a laundry card, a light bill and a Wi-Fi password are separate charges. Room type moves the figure, since the houses offer both private and semi-private rooms.

A Men's Sober Living Home on Northwest 16th Court

Residents are men. Northwest 16th Court is a residential block in the northwest quadrant of Fort Lauderdale, close enough to Sunrise Boulevard for bus service and far enough off it to be quiet at night. Several of the operator's other men's houses sit in the same few blocks, which matters more than it sounds: house meetings, rides and the informal network that keeps people accountable all get easier when the addresses are close together.

Sober House or Halfway House in Broward County

The two get used interchangeably in South Florida and they describe different things. A halfway house is usually tied to a corrections or treatment placement, with a fixed length of stay and a referral source that controls admission. A recovery residence like this one is private housing a person applies to and pays for, stays in as long as he keeps the agreement, and leaves when he chooses. The rules can look similar from the outside. Who holds the authority over the bed is the difference.

Certification and Florida Recovery Homes

Recovery residences in Florida certify voluntarily through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences. Certification commits a house to publishing its fees and rules in advance, to a written relapse and discharge policy, and to outside review of complaints. Its voluntary nature means no negative inference follows from a house not appearing on a list, and anyone comparing Fort Lauderdale sober houses should ask the operator about the specific address.
