The Dude Ranch Residences Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Dude Ranch Residences is a men’s sober living home operated by Vero Beach Sober Living Residences in Vero Beach, Florida. The home functions as part of a structured recovery housing model designed to support men in early to mid-stage recovery who benefit from accountability, peer support, and clearly defined house expectations.

The residence follows a structured sober living approach that includes an intake screening process, residency agreements, and house rules intended to promote safety, responsibility, and sobriety. Residents are expected to maintain abstinence from drugs and alcohol, participate in recovery-oriented activities (such as meeting attendance), and contribute to a respectful, recovery-focused living environment. Random drug and alcohol testing may be used to reinforce accountability.

Living arrangements typically include shared bedrooms and common areas that support both independence and community. The home is furnished and designed to support daily routines such as meal preparation, work schedules, meetings, and personal recovery responsibilities. Peer accountability and mutual support among residents are emphasized as core elements of the home culture.

The Dude Ranch Residences is intended as recovery housing, not a clinical treatment program. It serves as a supportive residential setting for men transitioning from treatment or seeking a stable sober house while continuing their recovery journey in the Vero Beach area. The operator reports certification through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), aligning the home with recognized recovery residence standards in Florida.

More about The Sober House Determined to be the best sober living community in south Florida, we base our philosophies on the principles and the traditions of  Alcoholics Anonymous.  We are proud to be certified by the Florida Association of Recovery Residences.We find that by living the principles of the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, our residents have become accountable and responsible members of our sober living community and society as a whole. We have come to believe that the byproduct of working with a sponsor, working the 12 steps, going to meetings, and learning recovery behaviors makes the rules that we enforce almost inconsequential.  Our goal is to provide a sober living environment where the life experiences of our residents can be an example to the other members within our community who are suffering from the disease of addiction.  We learn and grow from each other's recovery.Vero Beach Sober Living Residences, LLC was founded by a man who has been sober since 1992, who lived in a similar transitional house early in his recovery.  He continues his involvement with the program as outlined in the book of Alcoholics Anonymous.  He learned that in order to keep the gift of sobriety, he had to help others.
