House of Ruth Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

House of Ruth is a women's recovery residence on Summit Avenue in Connersville, Indiana, in Fayette County, and it shares its name with the nonprofit that operates it. It holds Level III designation on Indiana's DMHA Recovery Residence list.

A Women's Sober Living Home in Connersville

This house is one of three the operator runs within a few doors of each other on Summit Avenue, and this particular address is the Level III residence among the three. Level III on Indiana's scale describes a more structured model than Level II, with more built-in supervision for women earlier in recovery.

What Level III Designation Signals for This Sober House

A Level III designation means the state has reviewed a higher degree of structure and support at this address than at a Level I or II residence. It still requires the baseline commitments every designated Indiana residence makes: a published code of ethics, written fees and rules given to applicants before move-in, and a relapse and discharge policy on file with INARR.

Part of the House of Ruth Network

Because the operator and this house share a name, it helps to know the difference: the organization runs three separate residences, and this address is only one of them. Someone applying is considered for whichever of the three houses fits, not just this one.

Connersville's Place in East Central Indiana

Connersville sits in Fayette County, in east central Indiana, and functions as the county's commercial and service center. That gives residents on Summit Avenue access to the county courthouse, local outpatient care and social services without leaving town, which is not a given in the smaller townships surrounding it.
