Hope House Dartmouth Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Hope House Dartmouth is a men's sober living home on North Dartmouth Avenue in Tampa, Florida, in Hillsborough County.

A Men's Sober House in Tampa

This Tampa sober house serves men only, and North Dartmouth Avenue sits in a residential section of the city north of downtown, within Hillsborough County's larger outpatient treatment network. A single-gender house keeps meetings, chores and shared space focused on one population, which is the baseline structure most men's recovery homes in Florida are built around.

What a Sober House Provides After Treatment

A sober living home supplies housing and daily accountability. Residents typically continue outpatient counseling or a prescriber relationship elsewhere in Tampa while the house itself provides the structure of living among other men working the same recovery.

Sober Living Certification in Florida

Florida certifies recovery residences through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, the only credentialing body the state's Department of Children and Families has approved for this purpose. Certification is voluntary, so anyone considering this house should confirm its current status directly with the operator.

Tampa and Hillsborough County Recovery Housing

Tampa is the seat of Hillsborough County and the largest city in the Tampa Bay area, with an outpatient treatment network, public transit and entry-level job market large enough to support a resident rebuilding a routine without a car being the only option.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This Tampa Sober House

Applications go directly to the operator. Worth asking before move-in: what the weekly fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned, and the house's policy on relapse and medication-assisted treatment.

More on the sober house Hope House prides itself on a strong sense of community.  The small number of residents live, work, and attend twelve step meetings together.  A weekly house meeting keeps members current and ensures that all residents voices are heard and concerns are being addressed.  Members of the recovery community also visit once a week to share their experience achieving sobriety through the twelve steps.  While residents are required to attend twelve step meetings, it is also strongly encouraged that they partake in all that the program has to offer including sponsorship and fellowship
