About this Recovery House
Hanna House Recovery Home is a men's sober living home on Hanna Road in Lutz, Florida, in Hillsborough County, run by the nonprofit Hanna House Foundation.
A Men's Sober House on Hanna Road
Hanna House serves men only, in a semi-rural section of Lutz north of Tampa. Applicants must have already completed a substance abuse treatment program, hold a minimum of thirty days of sobriety, and show active participation in recovery before they are considered, which sets a higher bar at intake than many sober houses require.
A Nonprofit Foundation, Not a Private Landlord
Hanna House operates under the Hanna House Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. That structure separates the house from a for-profit rental arrangement and puts its finances under a different kind of public accountability than a privately owned sober home.
What the House Requires Going In
Residents must secure employment, pass drug screening, and commit to random testing and mandatory house meetings once admitted. Move-in requires two weeks of rent paid up front, a common structure in Tampa Bay area sober housing meant to establish commitment before a resident settles in.
Certification Is Voluntary in Florida
Florida's Department of Children and Families has approved only the Florida Association of Recovery Residences to certify recovery residences, and the credential itself is voluntary. Hanna House's nonprofit status is a separate matter from residence certification, and a prospective resident should ask the foundation directly about the house's current certification status. A guide explains how a Florida sober living home becomes FARR certified.
Lutz and the Tampa Bay Recovery Market
Lutz sits in Hillsborough County just north of Tampa, giving Hanna House residents access to the Tampa Bay area's outpatient providers and job market without the density or cost of the city itself. North Dale Mabry Highway connects Lutz directly into Tampa for residents who need to travel further for work or care.
A Related Veterans Program
The Hanna House Foundation also runs a program described as Hanna House Veterans Ranch, aimed specifically at veterans in recovery, though no separate address for that program is published here.
More on The Sober House
The journey from long-term treatment to being a productive member of society is fraught with many potential pitfalls that lead to a diminished probability of success.
Accountability and an environment where one can safely experience “life on life's terms†are vital.
