About this Sober House
Judy's Place is a men's recovery home on Lawson Avenue West in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in Ramsey County. It is operated by Elite Recovery, which also provides outpatient treatment in the city. The house is listed by its operator as sober living for men.
A Men's Sober House in Saint Paul's North End
Lawson Avenue West runs through the North End, a working residential district north of the State Capitol and west of Rice Street. The neighborhood is a sensible place for recovery housing: houses with room in them, bus service on Rice Street and Dale Street, and grocery, pharmacy and clinic errands that can be done on foot. Downtown Saint Paul is a short ride, which puts the courthouse and the county offices within easy reach of a resident who has business with either.
What a Men's Recovery Residence Provides
Sober living is housing, and the value is in what surrounds the bed: other men in recovery on the same schedule, an expectation of sobriety that the household enforces, and an address stable enough to put on a job application. Clinical care comes from outside providers. In this case the operator supplies that care itself through its Saint Paul outpatient programs, so a resident can align his housing and his treatment through one organization.
Recovery Housing in the Capital of Ramsey County
Saint Paul carries the Ramsey County courthouse, county human services, probation, several outpatient providers and Regions Hospital, and it is the state capital. Men leaving treatment or incarceration in the east metro generally land here because it is the address from which every obligation is reachable. Metro Transit's Green Line and the A Line cover the main corridors, and most entry-level employers in the city sit near one of them.
What to Confirm Before Moving Into This Saint Paul Sober House
Ask for the fee and what it includes, the deposit, how rooms are assigned, whether a house manager lives on site, the medication policy, and the written relapse and discharge policy. Minnesota's certification program for sober homes, run by the Minnesota Association of Sober Homes, is voluntary, so an applicant should ask for those documents from any house he is considering and read them before signing.
