About this Recovery House

Sieger House is a men's sober living home in Springfield, Missouri, part of the New Beginning Sanctuary network. It sits in Greene County, whose seat is Springfield itself.

A Men's Sober Living Home in Greene County

Every New Beginning Sanctuary residence is single-gender, and this one houses men. Residents are expected to be employed, current on their fees, present at house meetings and clean toward the household. Leadership lives with the house around the clock. The organization has been doing this since 2013 and now runs homes in four Missouri cities.

House Expectations in a Springfield Recovery Home

Drugs and alcohol carry zero tolerance. Access to phones, television, computers and WiFi is limited, and residents are asked to volunteer as well as work. Meals are shared. Outings are organized. For a man whose last stable routine was years ago, the first month is mostly about learning to live inside a schedule again, and the following eleven are about proving he can.

What MCRSP Accreditation Commits a Sober House To

The residence is accredited through the Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers, the state's NARR affiliate. Missouri does not require it of anyone. An operator that seeks it agrees to publish its ethics code, hand applicants the fees and rules in writing, keep a relapse and discharge policy on paper, and submit to complaint review from outside the house.

Getting Around Springfield From This Recovery Residence

City Utilities runs Springfield's buses, and the routes cover the hospitals, the colleges and the commercial corridors where most first jobs in recovery are found. Greene County's courts sit downtown. A resident without a license can still meet a probation officer, work a shift and get to a meeting in the same day, which is the arithmetic that decides whether a year of sober living is survivable. The address is not published, and applications go through the operator.
