About this Recovery House
Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Center - Madison Heights is a men's recovery residence in Madison Heights, Michigan, in Oakland County. Sacred Heart Rehabilitation Center runs it, and the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences certifies it at Level 3 as men's housing. The operator keeps the address off its public pages and takes placement inquiries itself.
A Men's Sober House in Southern Oakland County
Madison Heights is a compact inner suburb wedged between Royal Oak, Troy, Warren and Hazel Park, with I-696 and I-75 crossing at its edge and SMART bus service running the main corridors. That geography is the reason a men's sober house here works: a resident can hold a job in Troy, keep an appointment in Royal Oak and attend a meeting in Ferndale without a car, and the entire southern half of Oakland County is inside a half-hour radius. Recovery housing that sits away from transit asks a man in his first sober year to solve a transportation problem before he solves anything else.
Outpatient Services Near This Recovery Residence
Sacred Heart operates an outpatient site in Madison Heights, and every participant in its housing program is connected to outpatient substance use services and assigned a peer recovery coach who builds a wellness plan with him. Keeping the clinical program and the housing under one organization removes a familiar problem: a resident who changes address does not have to rebuild his treatment relationships, and the people who set his housing expectations can see his attendance.
Felony-Friendly Recovery Housing in Oakland County
MARR records this residence as felony friendly. Oakland County's courts sit in Pontiac and its jail population turns over constantly, and a man leaving custody with a housing requirement in his release plan usually finds that a record closes doors faster than active use does. A house that will consider one is often the single condition that makes the rest of a plan workable.
Medication-Assisted Treatment in This Men's Sober Living Home
Residents engaged in medication-assisted treatment are welcomed, and MARR records the house as accepting it. Sacred Heart provides that treatment directly, so a man on buprenorphine or methadone is housed by an organization that also prescribes it. That alignment is the difference between a medication a resident has to justify and a medication that is simply part of his care.
Level 3 Certification Through Michigan's Recovery Residence Affiliate
Michigan does not license or register recovery residences, so certification through the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences is the only external standard a Michigan house can hold. Level 3 means supervised housing: paid staff, an organization above the household, written policies and structured programming. Certification also commits the residence to a code of ethics, to written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and to a complaint process reachable from outside the house. It is granted one address at a time.
Metro Detroit Recovery Homes and How This One Is Funded
Housing is funded through limited grant dollars for residents of specific counties, with an affordable self-pay rate for those who do not qualify. For a man weighing options across Metro Detroit, that is the question to open with, because it determines what the first month costs. Sacred Heart also runs women's recovery residences in Port Huron and Benton Harbor, so referrals across the state stay inside one organization.
