John's House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

John's House is a men's sober living home in St. Louis, Missouri, one of two men's houses that Mo Better Living runs in the city of St. Louis.

A Men's Recovery Home in St. Louis

John's House holds eight beds for men working a recovery program, smaller than Bryan's House but run on the same rules. Residents pay five hundred dollars a month, share bathrooms and common space, and are expected to keep the house through the chores everyone rotates.

What Mo Better Living Asks of Residents

The operator's model leans on peer accountability instead of live-in staff. A peer support specialist is assigned to each man at move-in, and the house holds a weekly meeting where residents check in on each other's progress. Medication-assisted treatment, including methadone and buprenorphine, is accepted without condition.

Getting Around St. Louis from John's House

St. Louis is an independent city, not part of any surrounding county, and its transit and outpatient network sits close to most residential addresses inside the city line. That matters for a resident without a car yet, since meetings, appointments and entry-level work are reachable without depending on someone else for a ride.

One of Five Mo Better Living Sober Homes

John's House is one of five properties Mo Better Living operates in St. Louis, alongside Bryan's House for men, Eleanore's House and Cheryl's House for women, and the Pendleton House for men. A resident who outgrows John's House or needs a different set of housemates can move within a network that already knows him.

ABOUT US Recovery supportive homes are group homes for people who are recovering from substance use disorder. People who live in recovery supportive homes have to follow certain rules and contribute to the home by doing chores. Most importantly, residents must stay sober throughout their stay in the home. Living in this type of environment can support sobriety and help alcoholics or those with substance use disorder adjust to life without their addictions. Many with substance use disorder use recovery supportive housing to help them transition from rehab to living independently without using drugs or alcohol.
