About this Recovery House
Ten Sixteen Recovery Network - Eastman House is a sober living home at 1016 Eastman Avenue in Midland, Michigan, the seat of Midland County. It carries Level 3 certification from the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences and is one of two Ten16 recovery houses in the city.
A Sober House on Eastman Avenue
Eastman Avenue is one of Midland's main north-south routes, and the address puts residents on the same site as Ten16's own offices and outpatient services. That proximity is the practical argument for this house over an unaffiliated rental. A recovery coach, a counselor and a bed are at one address, so a resident who needs to add a service does not need to add a commute. Ten16 runs a second Midland house as well, one of the pair for men and one for women.
How This Recovery Home Is Led
The house is managed and led jointly by Ten16 staff and the residents themselves. A Ten16 recovery coach is available for individual and group support, and a designated house manager, drawn from the current residents, handles day-to-day leadership in the building. Problems inside the household get worked out with both of those people involved. The arrangement gives a resident a peer with standing and a staff member with authority, which is a more useful pair than either alone at two in the morning.
What Level 3 Certification Establishes for This Sober Living Home
Michigan has no state licensure, certification or registration requirement for recovery residences, so certification through the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences is voluntary and checkable. A certified residence agrees in writing to a code of ethics, discloses fees and house rules before move-in, keeps a written relapse and discharge policy, and accepts complaint review from outside the household. Level 3 is the supervised tier, with an organization operating the residence and staff holding defined roles.
What This Midland Sober House Costs
The fee is $155 per week. State funding covers it for residents who qualify, and residents who do not qualify pay it themselves, so the first question at application is which of the two applies. A published weekly figure with a funding route behind it is easier to plan against than a rate quoted on the phone, and a certified residence has to put it in writing before anyone signs.
Medication and Reentry in This Recovery Housing
Medication for opioid use disorder is accepted, and residents with felony records are accepted. Ten16 delivers outpatient treatment itself, so a resident on buprenorphine or methadone can keep prescriber and housing inside one organization, and someone leaving custody in Midland County has a certified address to name in a reentry plan.
Recovery Housing in Midland and Midland County
Midland is the county seat and the center of a chemical and engineering economy that keeps wages and entry-level hiring stronger than most mid-Michigan cities its size. The county courthouse, a regional hospital system, a university and a walkable downtown all sit inside the city, and Saginaw and Bay City are each a short drive for services Midland does not carry. Ten16 has served this corner of the state for decades across several counties, and its Midland houses are the anchor of that network.
