KT House Coed Sober House

About this Sober House

KT House is a recovery home in Billings, Montana, in Yellowstone County. It is one of six sober living homes operated by A Sober Start, and it sits on the west side of the city in the 59102 ZIP.

Who This Billings Sober House Is For

This house suits an adult who has already stopped using and now needs the surrounding hours to hold. That usually means someone leaving detox, a residential program, a treatment court or the county jail with a plan for the daytime and no safe address for the evening. It is a poor fit for anyone who still needs medical supervision or on-site clinical care, because a recovery residence supplies housing and peer accountability while the treatment happens elsewhere in the city.

Registration on Montana's Recovery Residence List

KT House appears on the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services recovery residence registry under A Sober Start. Since Senate Bill 94 took effect in the fall of 2023, registering has been a legal requirement for every recovery residence operating in the state. The practical value to a resident is verification: the house, the operator and the city are on a government record that anyone can search, including a parent or a case manager calling from four hundred miles away.

Billings as a Base for Eastern Montana Recovery Housing

Montana is large and thinly served, and Billings is where the density is. The city holds two hospital systems, the region's outpatient and behavioral health capacity, a university, a community college, the Yellowstone County courts and the deepest hiring market between Bozeman and Bismarck. Someone who completes treatment in a small town on the Hi-Line or along the Yellowstone often finds that the nearest place where housing, employment and follow-up care all exist together is here, and recovery housing in the city is sized to that inflow.

Sober Homes Under the Same Billings Operator

KT House shares an operator with Kenzie House, Jacob House and Ruthie House nearby on the West End, Mark House in central Billings and Heights House north of the Rimrocks. Applicants go through one intake for the group.

What to Ask This Recovery Home Before Applying

Four questions separate a well run sober house from a bad one, and none of them are about the furniture. What does the weekly fee include, and what is the deposit and refund policy. Does anyone live in the house overnight. What is written down about relapse, discharge and the return of a resident's belongings. And are residents on prescribed medication for opioid use disorder accepted without conditions. Ask for all four in writing.
