About this Recovery House
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a women's sober living home on Linton Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri, an independent city that functions as its own county. Queen of Peace Center operates the residence as part of its family-centered approach to housing women recovering from substance use and trauma.
A Women's Sober House on Linton Avenue
The house is restricted to women, and that single fact settles a great deal for anyone comparing sober living options: bathrooms, house meetings and common areas are built around one population, and residents are not the only woman navigating a mixed household. Linton Avenue sits in a residential stretch of north St. Louis, within reach of Metro bus service that connects to the rest of the city.
Part of a Larger Continuum of Stable Housing
Queen of Peace Center groups its housing work under one umbrella that runs from transitional beds through supportive and permanent options. A woman placed at Our Lady of Perpetual Help is stepping into that continuum, and a change in circumstance does not necessarily mean leaving the organization altogether.
Family-Centered Recovery for Women in St. Louis
The organization's model treats a woman's recovery and her family life as connected problems. Its Nurturing Networks programming, which includes childcare and family support, exists precisely because losing custody or contact with children is one of the most common reasons women delay or abandon treatment. A resident here has access to that support without a separate referral.
Recovery Housing in the City of St. Louis
As an independent city, St. Louis carries its own full slate of hospitals, courts and outpatient behavioral health providers as an independent city. That density benefits a resident directly: appointments, meetings and entry-level work are all reachable without a long commute, and Metro's bus and light rail network covers most of the corridors a new resident needs.
Queen of Peace Center's Recovery Homes in St. Louis
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is one of two Queen of Peace Center houses covered here, alongside ST. Philippine Home on Goodfellow Boulevard. Keeping both under one operator means consistent rules and a single point of contact for a resident who might eventually move between them.
ABOUT US
Recovery housing has four levels of care, of which OLPH will provide a “level 2 monitored†recovery residence. This means we have a house manager onsite, peer run groups, regular drug screenings, house meetings, and all are involved in self-help and/or treatment services. Women will pay rent when they are able and all clients are working, volunteering, or getting an education.
Recovery is the focus each day with AA/NA meetings and community meals as top priorities. No alcohol or drugs are allowed inside or around the residence.
