About this Sober House
Woodlake Carriage House is a coed sober living home on West Carriage House Drive in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in East Baton Rouge Parish. It is one of the residences published by Woodlake Transitional Living, and it houses men and women.
A Coed Sober House on West Carriage House Drive
West Carriage House Drive lies in east Baton Rouge between Florida Boulevard and Old Hammond Highway, in a quiet residential pocket of single-family homes. The address is unremarkable from the street, which is what most residents want. What it puts within reach is the useful part: the Florida Boulevard transit corridor, the Sherwood Forest and Coursey retail employers, and the outpatient providers clustered along Old Hammond Highway and Airline Highway.
Living in a Coed Recovery Residence
The house takes men and women together. That widens the availability of beds and shifts what a prospective resident needs to ask about. Bedroom assignment, the rule on relationships inside the house, and the visitor policy all matter more in a coed setting, and any operator running one should have those three in writing. Residents who have relapsed out of a mixed house before usually know exactly which of the three failed.
Housing Connected to an Addiction Recovery Center
Woodlake Transitional Living is the recovery housing side of a Baton Rouge treatment organization. A resident coming out of the clinical program keeps the same organization through the housing stage, and someone entering from outside gets housing with a treatment provider already attached. Neither is automatically better than a peer-run house. It is a different model, and the question to ask is how much program participation the house requires as a condition of living there.
Certification of Sober Houses in Louisiana
Louisiana has no license, registry or inspection regime for recovery residences. Certification is available through the Louisiana Association of Recovery Residences, it is voluntary, and the association describes itself as something other than a licensing authority. No public directory of certified homes exists. In that vacuum, the practical test is documentation, and a house that provides its fee schedule, rules and discharge policy in writing before move-in is meeting the substance of the standard.
East Baton Rouge Parish Recovery Housing
Baton Rouge is the parish seat and the state capital, and the eastern half of the city holds most of the parish's recovery homes. Everything a resident is likely to be obligated to is inside the city: the Nineteenth Judicial District Court, state probation, Our Lady of the Lake and Baton Rouge General, Baton Rouge Community College. That density is why people leaving treatment in Livingston or Ascension Parish end up looking here first.
A Network of Woodlake Sober Homes
Woodlake runs houses in Baton Rouge, Denham Springs and across Acadiana, and its Lafayette and Abbeville houses give a resident a route out of the Capital Region without leaving the operator. The state's Department of Health keeps the directory of licensed treatment providers for anyone who needs clinical care running in parallel with the housing.
Woodlake Transitional Living was founded to help recovering drug addicts who are just leaving treatment with a safe place to stay.
Most of our clients leaving treatment have nowhere to go so we provide designated sober living homes, transitional housing locations, and sober living facilities.
