About this Recovery House
F5 Project Recovery Housing – Minot is a men's sober house in Minot, North Dakota, the seat of Ward County. F5 Project runs it as part of a statewide network of eight locations, and the North Dakota Recovery Housing Assistance Program lists the organization as a participating provider serving men in this city. The program fee is $695 per month, and the street address is not published, so placement runs through the operator.
A Men's Recovery Home in the Northern Tier
Distance is the defining fact of recovery in northern North Dakota. Minot is the trade, medical and transportation hub for the entire northern third of the state, and the next comparable city in any direction is hours away. A man discharged from treatment or released from custody in Ward, Renville, Bottineau, McHenry or Mountrail County is choosing between structured housing in Minot and going back to the town where he used. That is the practical case for a men's sober house here, and it does not depend on anything about the building.
How State Funding Reaches This Minot Sober Living Home
The Recovery Housing Assistance Program, administered by the Behavioral Health Division of North Dakota Health and Human Services, covers up to twelve weeks of living expenses for an eligible resident at a participating provider. F5 Project is on that roster for Minot. Twelve weeks buys the exact period a man needs to find a job, get through a first pay cycle and put something aside, and it removes the deposit that otherwise decides who gets a bed. The state publishes the participating providers by city, which is a checkable public record in a state with no certification registry to consult.
What Residents Pay in This Ward County Recovery Housing
The published fee is $695 per month and includes housing, utilities, WiFi, peer support and program services. Utilities inside the fee removes the winter arithmetic that catches people in this part of the state, where a heating bill in January can be the single line item that ends a tenancy.
An Organization Behind the Sober House
F5 Project began in Fargo in 2016, founded by Adam Martin after his fifth felony, and grew from a grassroots effort into a statewide organization working on incarceration, mental health and addiction. It hires people with lived experience in the same systems its residents are leaving. For a man in Minot, the effect is that the person explaining the house rules has usually sat on the other side of the same conversation.
Recovery Housing and Daily Life in Minot
Trinity Health, Minot State University, the Ward County courthouse and the region's outpatient providers all sit inside the city, and Minot Air Force Base anchors a steady service economy just north of it. A resident can meet a supervision requirement, keep a clinical appointment, take a class and work a shift without leaving the county. In the northern tier that combination exists in exactly one place.
