Placid House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Placid House is a men's sober living home in St. Charles, Missouri, the seat of St. Charles County, run by LIV Recovery Sober Living. It holds eight men and sits inside a six-house network the organization operates around the St. Louis metro, also doing business as Living In Victory.

A Men's Sober House in St. Charles

Eight men live at Placid House under LIV Recovery's program, which pairs housing with services including a Respite Program for short-term stabilization and outpatient support. St. Charles is the county seat and one of the larger cities in the St. Louis metro's western suburbs, giving residents access to courts, employers and treatment providers without needing to travel into the city itself.

What LIV Recovery Adds Beyond Housing

LIV Recovery Sober Living was founded by Cameo Jones and Derrick Jones Sr., and the organization runs a Peer Apprenticeship Program that trains residents for paid work in recovery support services. That structure gives a man at Placid House a potential career path inside the same field he is working to stay out of trouble in, not just a place to sleep.

Missouri's Voluntary Certification Standard

No Missouri law requires a sober living home to certify. The Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers runs the state's voluntary accreditation program as its NARR affiliate, and an operator's absence from that list reflects a choice, not a deficiency, since the Department of Mental Health's own licensure applies to clinical treatment programs, leaving standalone recovery residences.

St. Charles County Recovery Housing

St. Charles anchors St. Charles County and sits just west of St. Louis County across the Missouri River, giving residents a foothold in one of the metro's fastest-growing suburban areas. LIV Recovery runs three of its six houses in this part of the metro, concentrating its footprint in St. Charles and the neighboring communities of Hazelwood and Hillsboro.

Getting Into Placid House

LIV Recovery Sober Living handles placement across its network as a single intake. Anyone applying should ask about the weekly cost, how the Respite and outpatient programs integrate with daily house life, and the organization's policy on medication-assisted recovery.
