Unity House Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Unity House is a men's sober living home in Kalispell, Montana, in Flathead County. It is certified by Recovery Access Montana, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, and takes men moving out of a more intensive level of care who are ready for structured, peer-supported housing.

A Men's Recovery Residence in Kalispell

This sober house in Kalispell serves men only, which keeps bathrooms, house meetings and common space single-gender and puts everyone living there under one set of expectations. The home sits near U.S. Route 93, the corridor that runs the length of the Flathead Valley, putting residents within reach of outpatient providers and employers in the city center without depending on a car from day one.

What RAM Certification Establishes

Certification through Recovery Access Montana commits a residence to standards a prospective resident can check. The house agrees to a published code of ethics, discloses its fees and rules in writing before move-in, keeps a written relapse and discharge policy, and accepts outside complaint review. Certification is voluntary in Montana, so a house that carries it has chosen to be measured against those standards and to be reviewed against them over time. For someone comparing sober houses from out of state, that difference separates a certified recovery residence from a landlord renting rooms to people in early sobriety.

Cost and Structure at Unity House

Unity House keeps a short list of expectations consistent for every resident:

• A weekly fee of $250 for the first three months, moving to a flat $1,000 a month afterward.
• A nightly curfew.
• Rotating responsibility for meal planning and preparation.
• Work, school or volunteering within the early weeks of a stay.

Length of stay typically runs three to twelve months depending on progress, and the shift from a weekly to a monthly rate marks the point where a resident is expected to be steadier on his feet.

Peer Support and Continuity of Care

Unity House builds each resident's plan around the aftercare recommendations of the treatment center or provider that referred him. Life skills workshops, 12-step meetings and counseling access round out the daily structure, and regular progress check-ins keep both the resident and the house accountable to that plan.

Recovery Housing in the Flathead Valley

Kalispell is the county seat of Flathead County and the commercial hub of the Flathead Valley in northwest Montana. Being close to the center of the city gives residents walking or short-drive access to the services, appointments and job openings that early recovery depends on, and it keeps Unity House within reach of the same outpatient network a referring treatment center in the valley already uses.
