About this Recovery House
St. Aubin Recovery Home is a coed recovery residence in Detroit, Michigan, in Wayne County. It is operated by Abound Rehabilitation Services Inc. and holds Level 3 certification from the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences. Room and board for most residents is paid by the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network.
A Coed Sober House in Detroit
Men and women live in the same single family home, under one set of house expectations, with staff supervision built into the model. The certified list publishes no street address for any Michigan residence, and placement here runs through the operator and through the county behavioral health network that funds the bed. In practice a resident arrives with an authorization in place of a deposit.
Paying for This Detroit Recovery Home Through DWIHN
Room and board payments come from the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network, the county behavioral health authority. Residents who need to stay past the authorized length of stay pay $550 per month, which the operator also states as $17.74 per day. Two things follow from that. Someone entering with a DWIHN authorization can enter without savings, and someone whose authorization is running out has a published number to plan against instead of a surprise.
Recovery Support Services Attached to This Sober Living Home
The operator delivers Recovery Support Services alongside the housing: structured peer support, recovery-oriented programming, life skills work and help re-entering the community. The housing and the programming come from the same organization, so a resident's support does not depend on finding an outside provider with an open slot in the first week.
What Level 3 Certification Establishes for a Recovery Residence
Level 3 in the national standard means supervised housing: an organization is accountable for the residence, staff hold defined roles, and the daily structure is written down. Certification binds the operator to a code of ethics, to written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, to a relapse and discharge policy, and to a complaint process outside the house. Michigan requires none of this, so it exists only where an operator asked to be measured.
Medication-Assisted Treatment and Felony-Friendly Recovery Housing
Medication-assisted treatment is accepted, and residents with felony records are accepted. In a city where a large share of referrals arrive from probation, parole and the county behavioral health system, those two policies decide whether a referral can be placed at all. Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services supports medication for opioid use disorder statewide, and a house that accommodates it keeps treatment and housing aligned.
Recovery Housing in Wayne County and Metro Detroit
Detroit is the seat of Wayne County and the center of the state's largest behavioral health system, which means the widest range of outpatient care, the busiest court dockets and the deepest pool of entry-level work all sit in the same city. A resident can meet a probation obligation, keep a clinic appointment and get to a shift on DDOT or SMART service. Coed recovery housing that is certified and publicly funded is a narrow category in Wayne County, and someone searching Detroit recovery housing from a hospital or a jail is usually choosing from a short list.
