About this Sober House
Renewal Recovery Residence - Park Place is a sober house in Billings, Montana, in Yellowstone County. It is part of STEP Inc.'s Renewal Recovery Residences and holds Level 2 certification in the 59101 ZIP.
A Central Billings Recovery Residence
The 59101 ZIP is the old heart of Billings: downtown, the South Side, the rail corridor and the neighborhoods that grew around them. It is the densest part of the city and the part best served by MET Transit. Residents here are close to the courthouse, the county offices, the library, the transit center and a large share of the area's recovery meetings, which is the whole argument for a central address in the first months of sobriety.
What Level 2 Certification Commits a Sober House To
Certification through Recovery Access Montana is voluntary in this state, so it reflects a choice. At Level 2 the residence runs a monitored model with a house manager or senior resident, written rules covering curfew, guests and substance use, expected participation in peer support, and drug screening. The commitments that come with certification are separate from the model and just as useful: a code of ethics, fees and rules disclosed in writing before anyone moves in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process that reaches past the house to the certifying body.
A Billings Nonprofit Running Sober Homes
STEP has run housing and family services in Billings for years. Its recovery residences hold more than 50 residents across seven homes, six of them in Billings and one in Red Lodge, and in 2025 the program supported over 12,800 days in recovery. A nonprofit operator of that size can absorb a vacancy, place an applicant quickly and keep expectations identical from one house to the next.
South-Central Montana and Its Recovery Housing
Billings anchors south-central Montana. It holds the region's hospitals, its treatment courts, its community college and university campuses and the deepest entry-level job market for hundreds of miles. Certified recovery housing concentrates here because that is where a resident can actually execute a plan, and because people finishing treatment in Laurel, Hardin, Red Lodge or Miles City frequently relocate to the city to do it.
Applying to This Billings Sober Living Home
STEP handles applications for its Billings residences through one process. Ask about the weekly fee, the deposit and the refund terms, how many residents share a bedroom, who holds responsibility for the house overnight, how relapse and discharge are handled in writing, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. Ask also how quickly a bed is likely to open, since placement runs across the whole group.
