IVY Home Foundation Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

IVY Home Foundation operates a men's sober living home at 6227 East 17th Street North in Wichita, Kansas, in Sedgwick County. The organization now operates online as Ivery Homes, describing itself as providing transitional housing in a safe environment for men rebuilding their lives after addiction.

A Men's Sober House in Northeast Wichita

This recovery residence serves men only, and its location in northeast Wichita puts residents within the city's larger network of outpatient providers, employers and public transit. Sedgwick County, with Wichita as its seat, carries the largest concentration of recovery housing anywhere in Kansas, and a house here sits inside that density.

What Oversight Exists for a Wichita Sober House

Ivery Homes displays a national recovery-residence emblem on its own website and calls its housing accredited. Kansas has no NARR affiliate and no state body that certifies recovery residences, so no Kansas credential stands behind that wording and no public register exists to check it against. A prospective resident should ask the operator directly which body issued it, when, and for which address.

Transitional Housing After Addiction

Ivery Homes describes its work as transitional housing, distinct from clinical treatment: the house supplies structure, accountability and a stable address while residents pursue outpatient counseling, employment or other services elsewhere in Wichita. That division of labor between housing and treatment is standard across sober living nationally and lets each side of recovery be handled by people who specialize in it.

Choosing a Wichita Recovery Residence

With no state certification standard in Kansas, the questions worth asking a men's sober house in Wichita are practical ones: what the house discloses about fees and rules before move-in, how a complaint is handled, and what happens after a relapse. IVY Home Foundation's residence on 17th Street North is a single house, so those answers come from the people running it.
