Amend Sober Living - Vine Street Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Amend Sober Living - Vine Street is a men's sober living home in Wichita, Kansas, in Sedgwick County, the second of two Wichita houses under the same program.

A Men's Sober House on Vine Street

This sober house in Wichita serves men only, and Vine Street sits in a residential block on the city's south side. A single-gender house keeps meetings, chores and shared space organized around one population, and residents share bedrooms across the home, which keeps the weekly cost down.

No State Certification, a City Zoning Framework Instead

Kansas has no NARR affiliate and no state registry for recovery residences, so nothing certifies this house the way a licensed treatment facility is licensed. The City of Wichita instead addresses recovery housing through its own sober living homes and zoning policy, which treats a home like this one as a residential use, not an institutional one. That is the only regulatory framework touching a Wichita sober house today.

Vine Street's Place in Wichita

The address sits within Sedgwick County, whose seat is Wichita itself, putting residents close to the outpatient providers, employers and transit routes concentrated in the state's largest city. That density matters more for someone rebuilding a routine than it does for most other residents of the neighborhood.

Two Addresses Under the Amend Sober Living Name

The organization's other Wichita house sits on St Clair Street, also for men. Running both under one name means a resident who needs a different set of housemates can raise it with people who already know him.

Questions Worth Asking at This Wichita Recovery Home

Because Kansas imposes no disclosure requirement on a recovery residence, a prospective resident has to ask directly for what a certified state would require in writing: the weekly fee and what it covers, whether staff live on site, how a relapse is handled, and how bedrooms are assigned. A program that answers plainly before move-in is worth more than any certificate this state does not issue.
