Texas Avenue House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Texas Avenue House is a women's sober living home in Columbia, Missouri, in Boone County, run by Fresh Start Sober Living Programs and accredited by the Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers.

Women's Recovery Housing West of Downtown

Texas Avenue lies in the older residential neighborhoods on Columbia's west side, close to the Broadway corridor and inside the city bus network. Residents can reach the hospitals, downtown and the Business Loop without a car, which is the first constraint most people in early recovery are working around.

What the MCRSP Roster Certifies About a Recovery Residence

Missouri publishes no certification levels for recovery residences, so the meaningful question is whether a house appears on the accredited roster and what its own rules say. Accreditation requires a written code of ethics, fees and rules disclosed before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and an external complaint process. It is voluntary, and this house holds it.

Single-Gender Sober Living and Why It Is Standard

Every Fresh Start house is single-gender, and this one is for women. The reason is practical. A household with one population can write one set of rules, share one bathroom schedule and hold one house meeting, and residents who arrive with histories that make mixed housing untenable can still take a bed.

Mid-Missouri Recovery Homes and the Reach of Columbia

As the seat of Boone County, Columbia carries the circuit court, MU Health Care and Boone Health, the University of Missouri and two other colleges. Jefferson City is thirty miles south and Fulton twenty-five miles east, and people from both routinely come here for treatment and work. A recovery residence in this city is inside the region's densest concentration of the things recovery requires.

Questions for This Columbia Sober House

Fresh Start handles applications and the street address is not published. Ask what is available, what the fee covers, whether the room is shared, what the house expects about work or school, and how a complaint reaches past the house to the operator and then to the accrediting body.
