Michael's House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Michael's House is a certified men's sober living home in St. Joseph, Missouri, in Buchanan County, operated by Dismas House of Kansas City, Inc.

A Men's Sober House Built Around Reentry

Dismas House organizes its housing around what it calls the 5 Pillars: attitude, commitment, environment, resources and spirituality, and Michael's House applies that structure to men transitioning out of incarceration in St. Joseph. The street address is not published; the operator arranges placement directly.

Vouchers and the Cost of Housing

Dismas House accepts Missouri Recovery Support Services vouchers, which can offset the cost of a bed at Michael's House for a resident with little income at intake, a detail that matters more in reentry housing than in sober living generally.

MCRSP Certification at Michael's House

Certification through the Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers requires published fees and rules and a written relapse and discharge policy, with complaints reviewed outside the house.
