Lasalle House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Lasalle House is a men's recovery residence in Columbia, Missouri, in Boone County. Fresh Start Sober Living Programs operates it, and it is accredited by the Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers.

Men's Recovery Housing on Ordinary Terms

There is nothing exotic about how this house works. Men live together, stay sober, keep a curfew, attend a house meeting and get to work. The value is in the consistency, because the alternative for most residents is housing that can be withdrawn in a week or a living situation that made using easy.

MCRSP Accreditation as a Verifiable Fact

Most of what a house tells a prospective resident is unverifiable. Accreditation is not. The state's NARR affiliate maintains a roster, the standard behind it requires written ethics, fee and rule disclosure, a relapse and discharge policy and an outside complaint route, and any family member can check whether a given house appears. In a state with no licensing scheme that is a meaningful amount of daylight.

A Continuum of Sober Living Under One Operator

Fresh Start runs respite beds, transitional recovery housing and permanent supportive housing in Columbia. A man can enter the program in crisis and leave it in an apartment he keeps, and every step in between is handled by the same staff. Very few recovery housing operators in mid-Missouri cover that whole range.

Columbia and Callaway County in the Same Program

Alongside its Columbia properties, the operator runs two homes in Fulton, twenty-five miles east in Callaway County. A resident whose family, job or court obligations sit in either county has options inside one organization, and the expectations do not change with the address.

The street address is not published and placement is handled by Fresh Start. Ask about openings, the fee and what it covers, room configuration, the work expectation, and how a complaint escalates past the house to the operator and then to MCRSP.
