Project SOAR Recovery Residences SW 61st Avenue Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Project SOAR Recovery Residences - SW 61st Avenue is a men's recovery residence in Margate, Florida, in Broward County. Margate sits in the county's northwest quadrant, about a dozen miles inland from Fort Lauderdale, and this is one of two houses the operator keeps in the city.

A Men's Sober House in Margate, Broward County

Southwest 61st Avenue lies in the 33068 residential grid south of Atlantic Boulevard, the main east to west artery through Margate. The house serves men only. Margate is a quieter setting than the coastal cities where most of Broward's recovery housing clusters, and for someone whose relapse history is tied to a particular neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale or Pompano Beach, distance from that neighborhood is a real factor in choosing an address.

Getting to Work and Meetings From This Margate Recovery Home

Broward County Transit runs the Atlantic Boulevard and State Road 7 corridors, which connect Margate to Pompano Beach, Coral Springs and the county's central spine. The Florida Turnpike and the Sawgrass Expressway both pass within a few miles. Men living here without a car can reach retail, warehouse and service work along State Road 7 and can get to the coastal cities for meetings, and the operator's other houses sit along the same routes.

How Florida Sober Living Certification Works

Florida makes recovery residence certification voluntary. Section 397.487 of the Florida Statutes directs the Department of Children and Families to approve a credentialing entity for a voluntary program, and the Florida Association of Recovery Residences is the only entity approved for residences. A certified house agrees to publish its fees and rules, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, and answer complaints outside its own walls. Anyone comparing houses in Broward County should ask the operator where each specific address stands today.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This Margate Sober Living Home

The useful questions at a house this size are concrete. What does the weekly fee cover and what falls outside it. Whether a manager sleeps in the house. How bedrooms are assigned and whether a private room is available. What happens on the day someone uses, and whether he keeps his belongings. Whether medication prescribed for opioid use disorder is accepted. A well-run recovery residence answers all six in writing before anyone hands over a deposit.
