Hannon House Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Hannon House is a certified men's sober living home in Helena, Montana, the state capital and seat of Lewis and Clark County, operated by Instar Community Services.

A Men's Recovery Residence in a Quiet Corner of Helena

Hannon House, formally the John "Scott" Hannon House, serves men only, in a quiet, suburban corner of Helena removed from the busier downtown corridor. That setting gives residents a residential pace of life, with enough distance from downtown that the house feels like a home instead of an extension of a clinic.

Backed by a Licensed Outpatient Clinic

Instar Community Services is a state-licensed outpatient provider treating substance use disorder, co-occurring mental health conditions and gambling disorder, and Hannon House gives its clients a residential option connected to that clinical care. A resident keeps the same counselors and case managers who treated him through outpatient care, without starting over with a new provider.

NSLA Certification and Montana's Recovery Residence Registry

Hannon House holds certification through the National Sober Living Association, one of two organizations recognized in Montana alongside the state's NARR affiliate, Recovery Access Montana. Montana separately requires every recovery residence to register with the Department of Public Health and Human Services under Senate Bill 94, so a resident checking on Hannon House has two independent records available.

Recovery Housing in Montana's Capital

Helena concentrates state government, courts and health care in one city, and Lewis and Clark County residents needing treatment and housing after detox or incarceration have more options here than in most of west-central Montana. A men's sober house tied to a licensed outpatient clinic gives a resident continuity between his housing and his treatment.

Applying to Hannon House

Applications and referrals go through Instar Community Services. Worth asking directly: how ongoing outpatient treatment fits alongside house expectations, what insurance or self-pay options the program accepts, and what the transition looks like for a man who is not already an Instar client.
