Pacific House - Standing by the Door Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Pacific House – Standing by the Door is a men's sober living home in Branson, Missouri, in Taney County, part of Standing by the Door Ministries' network of recovery residences in the area.

A Men's Sober House in a Faith-Based Program

Pacific House is where men live while enrolled in Standing by the Door's twelve-step, Christian recovery program, which runs a full six months. The ministry treats housing as one piece of a broader package that also includes classes, transportation and support services, all delivered through the same organization.

A Twelve-Step Foundation

The program at Pacific House is built on the twelve steps, combined with the ministry's faith-based teaching. Residents attend classes together as part of the program instead of seeking outside programming on their own, which keeps the men in a given house working from the same material.

Living in a Tourism-Driven Local Economy

Branson's economy runs on tourism, live entertainment and the service industry that supports both, and that shapes what work is available to a man at Pacific House. Standing by the Door's provided transportation bridges the gap between where residents live and where the entertainment-district jobs actually are.

One of Several Standing by the Door Homes in Taney County

Pacific House is one of several men's residences the ministry operates in and around Branson, the largest city in Taney County. Forsyth holds the county seat, though nearly all of the ministry's program activity is centered in Branson itself.
