Meraki Recovery Housing - Brooklyn Center Women's Women's Sober House

About this Sober House

Meraki Recovery Housing - Brooklyn Center Women's is a women's sober house in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, in Hennepin County, whose seat is Minneapolis. The residence is certified by the Minnesota Association of Sober Homes. No street address is published for it, and placement is handled by the operator.

A Women's Recovery Residence North of Minneapolis

Brooklyn Center is one of the most diverse cities in Minnesota and one of the closest suburbs to downtown Minneapolis. For women in early recovery that combination is practical: the county's outpatient providers, child protection caseworkers, courts and clinics are all in Hennepin County and reachable by bus, and the address itself is quiet residential ground. Every resident here is a woman, so the house meeting, the bathrooms and the shared living space belong to one household with one set of rules.

Certification and What a Women's Sober House Owes an Applicant

Minnesota's certification program is voluntary, and this house holds a MASH Certificate of Compliance against the NARR Quality Standards. Certification means an applicant receives the fee schedule and the house rules in writing before move-in, that the relapse and discharge policy exists on paper, and that a complaint has somewhere to go besides the house manager. Women comparing options while still in treatment can ask for those documents and read them before deciding.

What This Brooklyn Center Sober Living Home Asks and Charges

Residents enter with 28 days of proven sobriety and a negative screen, then keep three recovery meetings a week, thirty hours of productive activity, the Sunday house meeting and twice-weekly chores. The program fee is $700 per month and the application fee is $250. Nothing about the structure is unusual, and all of it is published, which is what lets a woman decide whether she can live inside it before she commits.

Hennepin County Recovery Housing and Daily Logistics

Metro Transit routes along Brooklyn Boulevard and Highway 252 connect the city to downtown Minneapolis, the Blue Line and the county's human services offices. Child care, an outpatient group and a shift at a job can be strung together on one bus pass, which is the arithmetic that decides whether a woman can hold a placement while she rebuilds.

Where This House Sits in the Meraki Sober Homes Network

The operator runs eleven residences across the north metro, including a second Brooklyn Center house for men and women's houses in Ramsey. Fees and expectations carry across all of them, so a move between houses does not restart the terms of residency.
