About this Recovery House

LAM Men's House is a men's sober living home on Washington Avenue in Vincennes, Indiana, in Knox County, holding Level II designation on Indiana's DMHA Recovery Residence list. It is operated by Life After Meth, a Knox County recovery organization founded in 2005.

A Men's Sober House on Washington Avenue

This sober house in Vincennes holds nine men, a capacity the operator has published on its own site. Life After Meth began as a group of concerned citizens and area ministers meeting to address a growing methamphetamine crisis in Knox County, and the men's house grew out of that same community effort, opening in 2013 before relocating to its current address.

Level II Designation and What It Requires

LAM Men's House was re-certified to INARR standards in 2022, with a final site visit completed by the state's Division of Mental Health and Addiction. Designation at Level II requires a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules, and a written relapse and discharge policy, all confirmed on Indiana's Recovery Residence registry.

Roots in Knox County's Jail Recovery Program

Life After Meth began its recovery work inside the Knox County Jail in 2007, at the invitation of the county sheriff, and the men's house serves as a housing step for men continuing that same recovery track after release. The organization's programming is faith-based and peer-facilitated, built around the 12 steps.

Recovery Housing in Knox County

Vincennes is the seat of Knox County and the largest city in this part of southwest Indiana. A men's sober house here keeps residents close to the county jail's reentry pipeline, local churches and the community partners, including the Knox County Sheriff's Department and United Way, that Life After Meth has worked with for years.
