Southwest Chemical Dependency Program Sober House

About this Sober House

Southwest Chemical Dependency Program operates a recovery home in Livingston, Montana, in Park County, at 430 East Park Street. The nonprofit has offered residential and outpatient substance use treatment in south-central Montana for decades, and it is not currently certified by either of Montana's two recognized certifying bodies.

A Residential Recovery Home in Livingston

The organization's residential treatment program, which it calls its Recovery Homes, provides a structured, low-intensity residential setting with continuous monitoring, typically for a stay of around thirty days. That model sits between a clinical inpatient program and an unstructured sober house, built for someone who needs more oversight than daily check-ins but does not require hospital-level care.

A Nonprofit Treatment Program Serving Four Counties

Southwest Chemical Dependency Program is a Montana state-approved nonprofit corporation serving Park, Madison, Meagher and Beaverhead counties, with satellite offices in Livingston, Dillon, Ennis and White Sulphur Springs. The residential home is based at the organization's main office in Livingston, and the same organization runs outpatient counseling, group therapy and peer support for residents once they are ready to step down from the residential setting.

Registration Without Certification

Montana has required every recovery residence to register with the Department of Public Health and Human Services since October 2023, and this home is registered under that requirement without holding certification through Recovery Access Montana or the National Sober Living Association. Certification is voluntary, and a program built primarily around clinical treatment, like this one, may simply not have pursued it.

Recovery Housing in Park County

Livingston is the seat of Park County, in the Paradise Valley of south-central Montana, and it anchors a region with few other residential treatment options. A recovery home tied directly to a treatment program that also runs outpatient and peer support services gives residents in Park County a single point of contact across the length of their recovery.
