Alco Halfway House Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Alco Halfway House is a coed sober living home in Jacksonville, Florida, in Duval County, run by Alco Halfway House, Inc.

A Coed Recovery Home on Jacksonville's Eastside

Alco Halfway House houses men and women together on Hubbard Street on Jacksonville's eastside, a working residential area not far from downtown. Jacksonville's consolidated city-county government means Duval County's courts, social services and outpatient providers are all reachable within the same jurisdiction, which simplifies life for a resident juggling appointments across several systems.

Nearly Six Decades of Recovery Housing

The organization has run recovery housing in Jacksonville since 1967, a tenure that puts it among the longest-standing sober living providers in the state. That history matters in a field where houses open and close within a few years: a program with decades of continuity has weathered funding shifts, leadership changes and the turnover recovery housing sees more than most.

A Peer-Staffed Recovery Program

Alco Halfway House, Inc. staffs its program with people in long-term recovery themselves instead of outside clinical staff, and the organization frames its work as helping residents rebuild a foundation of stable housing alongside their recovery. That peer model is common in longstanding halfway house programs and gives residents a staff member who has been through comparable circumstances.

Florida's Voluntary Sober Living Certification

Certification for Florida recovery residences runs through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences and is entirely voluntary under state law. Anyone comparing Alco Halfway House to other Jacksonville programs should ask the organization directly about its current certification status.

Recovery Housing in Duval County

Jacksonville functions as both the city and the county government, the largest city by land area in the continental United States, and its size means recovery resources are spread across a wide geography. A Hubbard Street address on the eastside puts residents within reach of downtown services while keeping the house in a residential setting.
