The Matt Talbot Home Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Matt Talbot Home is a men's sober living home in Indianapolis, Indiana, in Marion County. The halfway house sits on Central Avenue and helps men rebuild stability after detox and during early recovery from alcoholism.

A Men's Halfway House on Central Avenue

The Matt Talbot Home focuses specifically on men working through alcoholism, offering a stable address for residents who have lost family support or another safety net during active addiction. The house describes its approach as family-like, aiming for a wholesome, supportive atmosphere for residents rebuilding their lives.

A 12-Step Foundation

Residents are encouraged to work a 12-step program through Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous or Cocaine Anonymous, whichever fits their situation, and the house hosts regular recovery meetings on site in its meeting room throughout the week. Having meetings held in the building itself lowers the barrier to attendance for residents without reliable transportation.

Rebuilding Stability After Detox

The Matt Talbot Home is built for men coming directly out of detox who need a structured place to land while they rebuild the accountability and routine that active alcoholism erodes. That focus on the immediate post-detox period distinguishes it from a longer-term sober living arrangement aimed at people further along in recovery.

Recovery Housing in Indianapolis and Marion County

Indianapolis is the seat of Marion County and the state capital, giving residents access to a far larger set of AA, NA and CA meetings, outpatient providers and entry-level jobs than a smaller Indiana city could offer. That density matters for a men's halfway house built around daily meeting attendance and a path back to steady work.

ABOUT US We are firm believers in following traditions. Here at the Talbot House, we encourage the men to follow "The 12 Steps" to recovery through either Alcoholics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, or whatever their choice of a recovery program. The initial treatment of the disease of addiction is detoxification. After detox, many recovering alcoholic addicts need a home because they have lost their families or whatever support system may have had. A halfway house is often the first step in recovery.
