About this Sober House

Living Ark is a men's sober living home on St. Michael Parkway in St. Michael, Minnesota, in Wright County.

A Men's Sober House in St. Michael

St. Michael is a growing exurb in Wright County, on the northwestern edge of the Twin Cities metro, and Living Ark serves men in recovery from this location. The city's newer residential development means the house sits among relatively recent construction, unlike the older housing stock common in Minneapolis and Saint Paul sober homes.

Recovery Housing Away From the Urban Core

A sober living home outside the immediate metro core offers a different pace than the Twin Cities themselves, with less density and, often, a lower cost of daily living. For a man who finds the city itself a trigger, a house in St. Michael offers geographic distance while still keeping the Twin Cities within a manageable drive.

Certification Standards for Minnesota Sober Homes

Minnesota's sober home certification is administered by the Minnesota Association of Sober Homes on a voluntary basis. Anyone considering a house in a smaller community like St. Michael should ask directly about certification, house rules and fee structure, since a certified residence is required to put all three in writing.

Wright County and the Buffalo Corridor

St. Michael sits in Wright County, whose seat is the city of Buffalo, and the area is served by regional bus connections into the Twin Cities metro. That corridor gives residents of Living Ark a route into Minneapolis and Saint Paul for treatment appointments or work without living inside either city.
