Safe Haven Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Safe Haven is a certified men's sober house in Evansville, Indiana, on Ingle Street in Vanderburgh County, operated by Safe Haven Transitional Housing Services.

A Men's Sober House on Ingle Street

Ingle Street sits in a residential section of Evansville's near-east side, and Safe Haven is the men's program the operator runs there. A single-gender household keeps house meetings, bathrooms and common space set up for one population, which is part of what a certified sober house is expected to disclose upfront.

What Certification Establishes

Safe Haven's certification commits the house to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and outside review of complaints. That record matters most to someone comparing options from out of town, where a certified sober house and an unregulated rooming house can otherwise look identical online.

Evansville and Vanderburgh County Recovery Housing

Evansville is the seat of Vanderburgh County and the largest city in southwestern Indiana, with a treatment and outpatient network large enough to serve men from smaller communities across the region. Ingle Street's location keeps residents inside that network without requiring a car in the first months of recovery.

Applying to Safe Haven

Applications for the Ingle Street house go through Safe Haven Transitional Housing Services. The questions certification obliges an answer to are the ones worth asking before signing: what the fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned and what happens after a relapse.
