West Katella House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

West Katella House is a women's sober house in Springfield, Missouri, operated by New Beginning Sanctuary. Springfield anchors Greene County and the wider Ozarks region of southwest Missouri.

A Women's Recovery Home in the Ozarks

Residents live single-gender and stay long. The organization runs its houses on a social model: leadership on site around the clock, shared meals, house meetings, and an expectation that everyone is working, in school or otherwise accountable for her days. Newcomers arrive from detox, residential treatment, shelters and jail releases across the region.

Faith-Based and Secular Pathways in Sober Living

New Beginning Sanctuary publishes both faith-based and secular recovery pathways. A resident who wants a Christian framework can have one, and a resident who does not is not quietly disadvantaged for it. That choice matters more than it sounds in a state where a large share of recovery housing is explicitly ministry-based and a woman who does not share the belief has few alternatives.

What MCRSP Accreditation Means for a Missouri Sober House

The residence is accredited through the Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers, Missouri's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. No Missouri law requires it. What accreditation produces is a paper trail: an ethics code the operator signed, disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written policy for relapse and discharge, and somewhere to take a complaint that is not the house manager.

Springfield Recovery Housing and Local Transit

City Utilities of Springfield runs the local bus network, and it reaches the hospitals, the community college and most of the retail and hospitality employers that hire people in early recovery. A resident without a car can build a week around it. Springfield is the county seat, so court business stays local too. The street address of this house is not published, and placement runs through the operator.
