LaVette's House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

LaVette's House is a women's sober house in St. Louis, Missouri, run by Guiding Lights, LLC in the independent city of St. Louis.

A Women's Sober House Run by Guiding Lights

LaVette's House is one of seven women's sober homes that Guiding Lights, LLC operates in St. Louis. The organization does not publish a street address for this location, so anyone considering it should apply directly instead of searching for a public listing of the property. What is confirmed is the population it serves and the organization behind it: women in early recovery, housed under one operator that also connects residents to transportation and steady work.

Housing Paired With Transportation and Work Support

Guiding Lights lists transportation assistance and connections to steady work among the services attached to its houses, LaVette's House included. For a woman without a car, getting to a job interview or a treatment appointment is often the difference between staying in a program and dropping out of it, and the organization builds that support directly around the housing, instead of leaving residents to find it on their own.

MCRSP Certification in Missouri

Missouri's sober living accreditation, through the Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers, is voluntary and does not publish certification levels for individual houses. Guiding Lights is not confirmed certified for this specific address, and its absence from the MCRSP list is not a negative mark in a state where certification is optional.
