Beth's Place is a certified women's sober living home on 30th Avenue South in Moorhead, Minnesota, in Clay County.

A Women's Sober House on 30th Avenue South

This sober house in Moorhead serves women in recovery, and the single-gender household simplifies daily life for residents: shared bathrooms, house meetings and common space all serve one population, and the same set of expectations applies to everyone under the roof. Moorhead sits directly across the Red River from Fargo, North Dakota, and residents can reach either downtown on the shared Metro Area Transit system without owning a car.

What MASH Certification Establishes

Beth's Place holds a Certificate of Compliance from the Minnesota Association of Sober Homes, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Minnesota's certification program is voluntary, so a certified residence has chosen to publish its rules and fees in writing, accept an outside complaint process, and hold to a code of ethics that an unregulated rental does not carry. For a woman evaluating a sober house in the Red River Valley from out of state, that record is the clearest signal available before move-in.

Recovery Housing in Moorhead and Clay County

Moorhead is the seat of Clay County and the Minnesota half of the Fargo-Moorhead metro, the largest population center in the northwestern part of the state. Sanford Health and Essentia Health both maintain major campuses in the area, and Minnesota State University Moorhead and Concordia College sit inside city limits, which gives residents rebuilding a routine a wide set of jobs, classes and outpatient appointments within a short drive. Clay County recovery housing tends to concentrate in Moorhead itself for exactly that reason.

Applying to Beth's Place

Applications go directly to Beth's Place in Moorhead. Certification through the Minnesota Association of Sober Homes means the house has to answer certain questions in writing before anyone signs: what the fee covers, how bedrooms are assigned, and what happens after a relapse. Those are the right questions to ask before choosing any women's sober house in the Fargo-Moorhead area.
