About this Sober House
Angels from Ashes Sober Home is a women's recovery residence in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in Ramsey County, whose seat and county courthouse are in the city. It houses up to six women and is operated by Elite Recovery. No street address is published for the house, and applications go through the operator.
A Six-Bed Women's Sober House
Six residents is a household. It sets the tone of a women's sober living home: one kitchen table, one set of chores that everyone notices when it slips, and a manager or peer leader who knows each resident by name. Small houses ask more of the people in them, because there is nowhere to be anonymous, and for many women coming out of treatment that is the point.
Medication-Assisted Recovery Is Accepted Here
Suboxone is accepted at this residence. Acceptance is far from universal in sober living, and a woman on buprenorphine who is turned away from housing frequently ends up choosing between her medication and her address. A house that takes her as she is prescribed keeps the treatment and the housing pointed the same direction, which is what makes the first year survivable.
What This Saint Paul Recovery Home Costs
The published program fee is $300 per month, which is well below the metro's typical recovery housing rate. A resident should confirm in writing what the figure covers, what a deposit looks like, and how the fee changes if her income does. Low fees are a real advantage for a woman leaving treatment with no savings and no job yet.
Women's Recovery Housing in Ramsey County
Saint Paul concentrates the services women in early recovery use most: county human services, child protection, the courts, outpatient providers and Regions Hospital, all reachable on Metro Transit's Green Line and the A Line corridors. The house also sits inside the operator's own network, and Elite Recovery runs outpatient treatment and assessments in the same city, so housing and clinical care can be coordinated through one organization.
What Certification Would Add to a Minnesota Sober House
Minnesota certifies recovery residences on a voluntary basis through the Minnesota Association of Sober Homes. The standards behind it are the right checklist for any applicant: fees and rules disclosed in writing before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, a published code of ethics, and a complaint process outside the house. Ask for all four, whichever house you choose.
