Bales House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Bales House is a men's sober living home in Kansas City, Missouri, in Jackson County, run by Ozark Recovery Housing.

An 18-Bed Restoration House for Men

Bales House is what Ozark Recovery Housing calls a restoration house, an eighteen-bed men's residence for men with at least thirty days of sobriety behind them. That threshold sets Bales House apart from the operator's entry-level respite housing: residents here have already stabilized and are working toward independence.

Full-Time Work and Three Weekly Meetings

Residents at Bales House are expected to pursue full-time employment and attend three recovery meetings a week, requirements the operator holds constant across its restoration-level houses. That combination of steady work and regular meetings is the structure the house is built to enforce.

Part of a Larger Recovery Housing Network

Bales House is one of several properties Ozark Recovery Housing operates in the Kansas City area, spanning entry-level respite housing, restoration houses like this one, and step-up houses for residents further along. Kansas City gives the operator access to a wide employer base and treatment network across a single metro area.

Recovery Housing in Kansas City and Jackson County

Kansas City sits in Jackson County, though Independence, not Kansas City, holds the county seat. The city's size gives Ozark Recovery Housing's residents access to a broad range of entry-level jobs and outpatient providers, which supports the full-time-work requirement that comes with a Bales House placement.
