Sober Living America Marietta Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Sober Living America Marietta is a coed sober living home in Marietta, Georgia, the seat of Cobb County in the northwest quadrant of metro Atlanta. Sober Living America, the nonprofit that runs it, has housed people in recovery for twenty-four years and maintains ten locations in the state. The address is not published, and placement is handled by the operator.

A Cobb County Sober House at the Center of the County

Marietta holds the Cobb County courthouse, the county government complex, the state court and the probation offices, all within a short walk of Marietta Square. Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, one of the busiest hospitals in Georgia, sits just north of downtown and runs the emergency and behavioral health services the county depends on. For someone rebuilding a routine under court supervision or after a hospital stay, the two sets of obligations sit close together.

Coed Recovery Housing Northwest of Atlanta

The house serves men and women. Cobb County is large, prosperous and expensive, and market rent here has priced out a lot of people trying to hold an address while they stabilize. A shared recovery residence at a fixed weekly rate is often the only way to stay in the county near an existing job, a child's school or a family member. CobbLinc buses run the Marietta and Cumberland corridors and connect to MARTA at Arts Center, which keeps the rest of the metro area reachable.

What Georgia Certification Says About a Recovery Residence

Georgia does not license recovery residences. The state Attorney General's consumer division explains that, and lists the voluntary accreditors that fill the gap. That leaves an applicant with a straightforward job: get the fee schedule, the house rules, the relapse policy and the discharge policy in writing before signing anything, and find out who reviews a complaint if the house manager is the problem.

Marietta Sober Living and the Route Back to Work

Cobb's employment base runs from the Dobbins and Lockheed complex through the health systems, the school district and the retail and restaurant corridors along Cobb Parkway. Chattahoochee Technical College's main campus is in Marietta for anyone restarting a credential. A resident with a driver's license and a clean thirty days has a real market to work in here, which is the point of the housing.

One Application Across Ten Georgia Sober Homes

Intake runs through Sober Living America at the organization level, so a caller who cannot get into Marietta this week is considered for Canton, Duluth, Atlanta or any other Georgia location the operator has open.
