Lorraine's Lion House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Lorraine's Lion House is a women's sober living home at 2379 Mission Road in Westwood, Kansas, in Johnson County. It is the second of two women's recovery residences run by Lorraine's House in the Kansas City metropolitan area, sitting a short distance from its sister home in Prairie Village.

A Women's Sober House on Mission Road

Lorraine's Lion House serves women only, and Mission Road runs through Westwood along the Kansas-Missouri line, putting residents close to employers, outpatient providers and recovery meetings on both sides of the state border. Westwood is a small, largely residential city inside Johnson County, and its location inside the Kansas City metro area means a car is helpful but not always required for daily errands.

Part of the Lorraine's House Network

Running two women's homes gives Lorraine's House a place to move a resident if a house or a set of housemates turns out to be a poor fit. The Prairie Village location is the operator's other Kansas address, and both are managed as part of the same organization, under one set of rules and one point of contact.

Westwood and the Kansas City Metro

Westwood sits inside Johnson County, whose seat is Olathe, but its daily rhythm is set by the wider Kansas City metropolitan area. Residents at Lorraine's Lion House are close to Kansas City's hospitals, courts and transit on both the Kansas and Missouri sides, which is unusual for a Kansas recovery residence outside the Wichita or Topeka areas.

Applying to Lorraine's Lion House

Kansas does not certify recovery residences, so a prospective resident should ask Lorraine's House directly what the weekly cost includes, how bedrooms are assigned at Mission Road, and whether placement is available at either of its two Kansas City area locations.
