About this Recovery House
Calusa Recovery runs a men's sober living home in Fort Myers, Florida, in Lee County, on New Hampshire Court, as part of a transitional housing program for young men who have completed addiction treatment.
A Men's Transitional Home in Fort Myers
This is a young men's sober house, aimed specifically at residents who have just finished detox or residential treatment and need a structured address before living fully independently. New Hampshire Court sits inland from the coast, close enough to Fort Myers's beaches for the recreational programming the operator builds into its schedule.
Run by a Treatment Provider, Not a Landlord
Calusa Recovery is a treatment center first, and this transitional home is one part of a continuum that also includes outpatient addiction treatment. That matters for a young man who needs both a bed and ongoing clinical support: the housing and the treatment relationship come from the same organization.
Structured Days, Not Just Structured Nights
Calusa Recovery builds experiential activities into its young men's program, including kiteboarding, paddleboarding, boating and other outdoor recreation alongside case management, life coaching and 12-step program access. For residents whose unstructured free time was often part of the problem, filling that time with organized activity is a deliberate design choice, not an amenity.
Certification and What Florida Does Not Verify
Florida's Department of Children and Families has approved only the Florida Association of Recovery Residences to certify recovery residences, and the credential is voluntary. A separate state treatment license, which Calusa Recovery holds for its clinical services, is not the same thing as a residence certification, and the two should not be confused. Anyone weighing this house against a certified alternative should ask Calusa Recovery directly about the home's certification status. A guide covers how a Florida operator gets FARR certified.
Fort Myers and Southwest Florida Recovery Housing
Fort Myers is the seat of Lee County and the largest city in Southwest Florida, giving Calusa Recovery's young men's program access to a bigger outpatient and employment base than a smaller Gulf Coast town could support. That regional pull is part of why treatment-affiliated housing tends to cluster in county seats like this one.

Benefits of Sober Living Houses
-Support and guidance from addiction experts, as well as an environment that actively encourages sobriety.
-You have a ready-made peer support network and can build lifelong, meaningful sober bonds.
-Residents pick up major life skills, such as eating well, cleaning up after themselves, paying rent, and establishing a routine.
-While there are some house rules, you are free to come and go as you please during the day. You enjoy a high level of independence while still having immediate access to guidance when you need it.
-Going straight from rehab to daily life can be daunting, due to the amount of supervision you experience when undergoing treatment. A sober home provides a gradual transition back into functioning with autonomy.
-If your home environment is unstable or has a lot of triggers, it's a good idea to ensure you're secure in your recovery before returning.
