About this Sober House
Heights House is a sober living home in Billings, Montana, in Yellowstone County. Operated by A Sober Start, it sits in the Billings Heights, the residential district on the bench above the Rimrocks, inside the 59105 ZIP.
A Sober House in the Billings Heights
The Heights is its own place. It climbs the bluff north and east of downtown, holds a large share of the city's working households, and runs its own commercial strip along Main Street with grocery, pharmacy, hardware and fast food all inside a mile of each other. Rents in the Heights tend to sit below the West End, and a recovery residence here puts a resident in a quiet neighborhood without putting daily errands out of reach.
Getting Around From a Heights Recovery Home
The Rimrocks separate the Heights from the rest of Billings, and Main Street and Airport Road are the two ways down. MET Transit serves the corridor, which is the practical answer for a resident who has a job downtown, an outpatient appointment on the West End or a probation check-in at the county complex and no vehicle yet. Anyone considering this house should look hard at the bus schedule against their own work hours before moving in, because an evening shift changes the calculation.
How Montana Registers Its Recovery Homes
Since October 2023, state law has required every recovery residence in Montana to register with the Department of Public Health and Human Services. Heights House is on that registry under A Sober Start. The registry is the state's complete picture of where sober living exists in Montana, because it captures every home, and it lets anyone confirm the operator behind a house from a public source. It is the first thing to check about any Montana sober house, and it takes about a minute.
A Sober Start's Recovery Housing in Billings
Six homes carry the A Sober Start name, and Heights House is the only one on this side of the Rimrocks. The other five sit in west and central Billings. That spread gives the operator something a single house cannot offer: if the Heights turns out to be the wrong side of town for someone's job or their meeting, a transfer is a conversation with people who already know them.
Who This Billings Sober Living Home Suits
The house fits someone coming out of detox, residential treatment or custody who has somewhere to be during the day and needs the evenings to be predictable and dry. It is not a clinical setting, and nobody supervises medication or provides therapy on site. Residents keep their own prescribers, counselors and meetings, and the house supplies the address, the housemates and the structure around them.
