Lighthouse Recovery Home Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Lighthouse Recovery Home is a certified women's sober living home in Muncie, Indiana, in Delaware County. It holds Level II designation on Indiana's DMHA Recovery Residence list and is operated by Urban Light Community Development Corporation on East 6th Street.

A Women's Sober House on East 6th Street

The Lighthouse Recovery Home runs a faith-based, three-phase recovery program built around the twelve steps, and residents typically complete it in about ten months, though the timeline flexes to fit each woman's needs. The house restores dignity and healthy boundaries as its stated purpose, and every resident in the building is working through the same phased structure.

What Level II Certification Confirms Through INARR

The Lighthouse Recovery Home has obtained state certification as a Certified Recovery Residence through the Indiana Affiliation of Recovery Residences, at Level II, the tier for peer-run housing with structured phases and no live-in clinical staff. That designation is confirmed directly by the operator, a stronger signal than a bare registry listing alone: certification here is something the house advertises, not something it merely tolerates.

Three Phases of Structured Recovery

The program moves residents through a defined sequence:

1. A two to four week probationary period assessing willingness and honesty before Phase I begins.
2. Phase I, ninety to a hundred twenty days of primary recovery focused on the first steps and identifying behavior patterns.
3. Phase II, one to six months of maintenance, completing the remaining steps while building steady employment.
4. Phase III, up to ninety days of transition, ending in an exit plan back into the community.

Every resident attends Sunday church services and works with a mentor and a mental health therapist throughout the process, alongside community partners including Delaware County Community Corrections and Meridian Health Services.

Recovery Housing in Muncie and Delaware County

Muncie is the seat of Delaware County and home to Ball State University, giving the city a base of outpatient providers, courts and community services that a smaller Delaware County town does not have on its own. The Lighthouse Recovery Home draws referrals from partners across that network, and a resident in its structured phases keeps access to Muncie's services throughout her stay.
