The Pacific House Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

The Pacific House is a men's sober living home on Pacific Street in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in Ramsey County. It is one of four residences operated by Spirit House on the city's East Side.

A Men's Sober House on Pacific Street

Pacific Street sits in Saint Paul's East Side, a residential part of the city built around small single-family homes and a handful of corner businesses. A men's-only house here means shared bathrooms, house meetings and common areas serve one population, and the East Side's grid of streets keeps most day-to-day errands within a short drive or bus ride.

One of Four Spirit House Recovery Homes

Spirit House runs four sober living homes in the Saint Paul area: this Pacific Street residence, the Foxridge House, the Hazelwood House, and the White Bear House. All four operate under the same organization, so a man who needs to move between them for a better fit is dealing with staff who already know him.

Sober Living Certification in Minnesota

Minnesota certifies sober homes on a voluntary basis through the Minnesota Association of Sober Homes, and certification is not required to operate. A certified residence commits to a published code of ethics, discloses its rules and fees in writing, and accepts an outside complaint process, protections worth asking about at any Minnesota sober house.

Getting Around the East Side of Saint Paul

Metro Transit serves Saint Paul's East Side with bus routes connecting to downtown Saint Paul and the Green Line light rail, giving residents without a car a way to reach work, meetings or outpatient appointments. As the seat of Ramsey County, Saint Paul concentrates much of the region's treatment and social service infrastructure within a short trip of Pacific Street.

Every house has an onsite manager who works with the resident to help them acclimate to the community they live in, answer questions, and provide guidance as they begin to build a network of support in the Saint Paul sober community. Our homes are well maintained, clean, and provide all the comforts of home. Every bedroom is completely furnished, providing high-speed internet access, TV, and cable in every room.  Our homes are located in the South East Metro area of Saint Paul, within walking distance of public transportation and local business.
