Neihardt House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Neihardt House is a women's sober living home in Branson, Missouri, in Taney County, run through Standing by the Door Ministries' six-month recovery program.

A Women's Home Inside a Six-Month Program

Neihardt House houses women enrolled in Standing by the Door's residential recovery program, a faith-based track built around the twelve steps and set to run a full six months, longer than the stays more common in clinical treatment. Housing, transportation, classes and ongoing support are folded into the same program.

A Faith-Based Approach to Recovery

Standing by the Door runs its program on Christian ministry principles alongside the twelve-step model, and Neihardt House operates as one household within that structure. Women in the program work through the same classes and the same expectations that apply across the ministry's houses, with the length of the program itself, six months, built to give a longer runway than most short-term treatment stays allow.

Transportation Built Into the Program

Standing by the Door provides transportation as part of its program, which matters in Branson, a city built around a tourism and entertainment economy where much of the entry-level work sits along the Highway 76 corridor, some distance from residential neighborhoods. Getting a resident to a job, a class or a meeting without her own car is part of what the program accounts for.

Branson and Taney County Recovery Housing

Branson is the largest city in Taney County, though Forsyth holds the county seat, and the local economy runs almost entirely on tourism, live entertainment and the service jobs that go with them. That gives a program like Standing by the Door's a steady supply of entry-level, flexible-schedule work nearby, the kind that fits around a structured recovery schedule better than a rigid nine-to-five would.
