About this Recovery House
Blessed Builders Sober Living is a recovery residence in Bismarck, North Dakota, the seat of Burleigh County. It houses men and women in separate homes, runs a three-phase program from admission through discharge, and offers shared rooms, single rooms and some individual apartments. The street address is not published, and placement is arranged through the operator.
Men's and Women's Sober Living Houses in Bismarck
Men and women live in separate houses under the same program. That arrangement gives the operator something a single building cannot: it can place a woman and a man from the same referral source in the same week without either one becoming the only resident of their gender. House rules, shared space and meetings are written for one population at a time, and admissions are handled centrally.
A Three-Phase Recovery Housing Program
The program moves a resident through three phases of living environment, from admission to final discharge, with responsibilities and privileges attached to each. A phased house answers a question that a flat set of rules cannot: what a resident gets for doing well. Curfew, autonomy and the level of oversight all shift as someone earns them, and a prospective resident should ask exactly what changes at each step, because that is the map of their next several months.
Rooms and Apartments in This Bismarck Sober House
Housing here is not one format. Shared rooms, single rooms and individual apartments are all part of the stock, which lets the operator match a placement to where someone actually is in recovery. A shared room in the first phase puts a new resident next to other people all day, which is usually what early sobriety needs. An apartment later on tests whether the routine holds when nobody is in the next bed, which is the question that matters before someone signs a lease of their own.
What It Costs to Live in This Recovery Home
The operator publishes its figures, which is uncommon and useful. A $450 entry fee covers the first month of rent along with administrative time, paperwork, drug screenings during the stay and operating costs. After that, rent runs $600 monthly, $300 bi-weekly, $150 weekly or $20 daily, and it includes:
- Water, heating and cooling, electric and garbage.
- Internet and WiFi.
- Washer and dryer use.
- Household furnishings.
- Accountability and drug screening beyond what the entry fee covers.
The daily and weekly options are the detail to notice. Someone whose income arrives irregularly can pay in the rhythm they actually get paid in, which keeps a bad week from turning into an eviction.
How to Apply for This Bismarck Recovery Housing
Applications go through the operator, and it also points applicants to Community Connect at North Dakota Health and Human Services, the state's front door for people looking for behavioral health and recovery services. Anyone applying should ask which phase they would enter, what moves them to the next one, what the house expects around employment and meetings, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted.
Recovery Housing in Burleigh County and Across the River
Bismarck is the state capital and the seat of Burleigh County, and Mandan sits directly across the Missouri River in Morton County. The two share a labor market, a bus system and a set of outpatient providers, so a resident here is inside the deepest service footprint in central North Dakota. State offices, the district court, Bismarck State College and the region's hospitals are all reachable without leaving the metro, and someone discharged in a smaller town nearby usually finds Bismarck sober living is the closest address with all of it in range.
