LLR's Stepping Stones Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

LLR's Stepping Stones is a coed sober living home on Dogwood Road in West Palm Beach, Florida, in Palm Beach County.

A Coed Sober Living Home on Dogwood Road

LLR's Stepping Stones houses men and women together on Dogwood Road, a quiet residential street west of downtown West Palm Beach. Accepting both genders under one roof is less common than the single-gender houses that dominate the Palm Beach County market, and it can widen the pool of people the house is able to take in on short notice. The property sits inland from the coastal corridor, close enough to Palm Beach International Airport and the county's main east-west arteries that getting to work or an appointment does not depend on living near the beach.

What Voluntary Certification Means in Florida

Florida does not require a recovery residence to certify in order to legally operate. Certification through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences is voluntary, so nothing about a house's certification status can be assumed from a website badge or its absence. Anyone considering LLR's Stepping Stones should ask the operator directly what its current status is.

Recovery Housing in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County

West Palm Beach is the seat of Palm Beach County and the administrative and medical center for the entire southeastern corridor, from Jupiter down through Delray Beach. That concentration of hospitals, outpatient clinics and courts gives a resident of this coed sober living home a full range of services without leaving the county, in one of the densest recovery housing markets in the country.

What to Ask Before Moving Into LLR's Stepping Stones

Applications go directly to the house. Before moving in, it is worth asking what the weekly fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how the coed arrangement is managed day to day, what the relapse and discharge policy says, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. A house willing to put those answers in writing is easier to evaluate against the many other options in the West Palm Beach area.
