Walnut House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Walnut House is a women's sober living home in Kansas City, Missouri, operated by Ozark Recovery Housing.

A Women's House in the Ozark Recovery Housing Network

Walnut House serves women in recovery under Ozark Recovery Housing, an operator that runs a mix of entry-level respite housing, restoration houses and step-up houses across Kansas City. The network's stated capacity across its properties runs to roughly ninety beds serving both men and women.

How the Operator Structures Its Program

Across its Kansas City houses, Ozark Recovery Housing separates residents by how far along they are: an entry-level respite house takes short stays for people with under thirty days of sobriety, restoration houses ask for full-time work and regular meetings once that threshold is met, and step-up houses serve residents furthest along. Walnut House sits within that structure as one of the operator's women's properties.

Kansas City and Jackson County

Walnut House is located in Kansas City, the largest city in Jackson County, though Independence, not Kansas City, is the county seat. The metro area gives Ozark Recovery Housing's residents access to a broad job market and outpatient treatment network across a single system of houses.

Applying to a Multi-House Network

Applications to Walnut House go through Ozark Recovery Housing directly, which considers a resident for whichever of its properties fits her stage in recovery. A woman who needs a different level of structure later can move within a network that already has her history.
