About this Sober House
Avalon Sober House - Carroll Avenue is a men's sober living home in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in Ramsey County, near the Frogtown neighborhood. It is one of two houses run by Avalon Sober House LLC, a MASH-certified operator managing recovery housing on the city's west-central side.
A Men's Sober House on Carroll Avenue
This house serves men in recovery on a residential stretch of Carroll Avenue between Frogtown and the Midway area, close to bus service on University Avenue. Residents share the address's structure with a companion house Avalon runs a few blocks away on Dayton Avenue, with one manager overseeing both.
A Structured Weekly Program
Avalon runs a weekly Monday meeting and dinner where residents cover chores, social plans, work schedules and attendance at support group meetings. The house maintains a curfew and defined visitor hours, and the operator is explicit that isolation and inactivity work against recovery, pushing residents instead toward employment and the habits an employer looks for.
What MASH Certification Confirms
Avalon Sober House LLC is a member of Minnesota Association of Sober Homes, and states that its houses have been inspected to a standard beyond local regulated requirements, covering health, life safety and management review. That inspection record gives a prospective resident something concrete to check before moving in.
Carroll Avenue and Ramsey County
The Frogtown and Midway area sits close to Saint Paul's core, the seat of Ramsey County, putting outpatient providers, county human services and Metro Transit's University Avenue corridor within easy reach of Carroll Avenue.
A Second Avalon House Nearby
Avalon Sober House LLC also runs a men's house on Dayton Avenue a short distance away, and residents at either address answer to the same on-site manager and the same set of weekly expectations.
Our purpose is to help recovering alcoholics and drug addicts to take the first steps back toward a sober, productive life. Decades-long experience across thousands of lives with every possible background, educational level, personality type, and family dynamic has shown that the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 Step Program is the most effective method to stay sober. We encourage and assist residents to follow this process; which includes finding a sponsor, regularly attending meetings, community service, and facing addiction squarely.
