About this Sober House
Landry House is a coed recovery residence in Augusta, Maine, the seat of Kennebec County. It is operated by Zysk Recovery Partners, an operator certified by the Maine Association of Recovery Residences, which runs recovery housing in central and southern Maine alongside its own outpatient treatment services.
A Coed Sober Living Home in the Capital Region
Both men and women live here, which is uncommon in Maine and useful to an applicant for a plain reason: it roughly doubles the number of certified beds a person in central Maine can actually apply to. Early recovery is the stage the house is built for, and what it offers is a household with rules, other residents doing the same work, and an organization answerable for how the place is run.
Certified Recovery Housing in the Capital Region
Maine does not require certification, so the fact that this residence carries it is a decision the operator made and can be held to. MARR certifies individual addresses, and certification requires paid staff, an organizational hierarchy with oversight of what the house provides, written policies and procedures, and programming aimed at building life skills. Behind certification sits a set of obligations any resident can check, including a code of ethics, fees and house rules disclosed in writing before move-in, a written policy for relapse and discharge, and an outside complaint process.
Choosing a Treatment Provider While Living in This Sober House
Participation in substance use disorder treatment is required of residents. The organization publishes an important qualification to that: treatment options are available beyond its own and are not exclusive to Zysk Recovery Partners, except within its residential treatment program. Someone arriving with an established prescriber, counselor or intensive outpatient placement can keep it and still meet the condition of residency. Maine's Department of Health and Human Services publishes statewide treatment and recovery resources for anyone lining up care before a move.
Recovery Housing Across Kennebec and Cumberland Counties
The operator works in two settings that are nothing alike. Kennebec County covers Augusta, Waterville, Winthrop and the small lake towns west of the capital, and it is the center of gravity for recovery services in central Maine. Cumberland County, with Portland at its middle, holds the largest concentration of recovery housing in the state. The two are connected by the interstate corridor, and a resident here is inside a network that reaches both. That matters for anyone deciding whether to rebuild near the people and obligations already in place or to put some distance between themselves and the town where they were using.
How Placement Works in This Sober Living Program
Street addresses are not published for the organization's residences, and placement runs through admissions staff who schedule intake appointments. Two conditions start on arrival: a urine screen for official admission, and no access to personal cellular devices for the first thirty days. Residents share assigned chores and manage their own basic hygiene. Ask what the fee covers, who is on site overnight, how a relapse is handled, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted before accepting a bed.
