About this Sober House
Avalon Sober House - Dayton Avenue is a men's sober living home in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in Ramsey County, in the Summit-University area. It is the house where Avalon Sober House LLC's on-site manager is based, one of two addresses the operator runs on the city's west-central side.
A Men's Sober House on Dayton Avenue
This Dayton Avenue address houses men in a Summit-University block close to the Green Line light rail on University Avenue, which reaches both downtown Saint Paul and downtown Minneapolis. Avalon's on-site manager works from this location, overseeing both this house and a companion property on Carroll Avenue.
Weekly Structure and Accountability
Residents attend a Monday house meeting and dinner covering chores, social events, work hours and support group attendance. A curfew and set visitor hours apply, and the operator builds the program around steady employment and the discipline that comes with it, explicitly working against isolation and idle time.
What MASH Certification Establishes
Avalon Sober House LLC holds membership in Minnesota Association of Sober Homes and describes its houses as inspected beyond what local regulation requires, covering health, life safety and management standards, a record a family can verify before someone moves in.
Summit-University and the Green Line
The Green Line's University Avenue stops put this house within a single transit ride of both Saint Paul, the Ramsey County seat, and Minneapolis, widening the job market available to residents well beyond one county.
The Companion House on Carroll Avenue
Avalon Sober House LLC also runs a men's house a few blocks away on Carroll Avenue, and both properties share the same manager, the same weekly structure and the same application process.
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.
