A Certified Women's Sober House in Summit County

The house holds women only, and five beds keeps the household small enough that residents know each other well. Managed-level certification means peer-managed housing with staff oversight and structured daily expectations, with clinical care handled by outside providers.

A Small Recovery Residence in Akron's Kenmore Neighborhood

The house takes its name from Kenmore, a neighborhood on Akron's west side that was its own city before Akron annexed it in 1929. The area still carries its own commercial strip and identity within the larger city, and it sits a short distance from downtown Akron.

What Managed Certification Requires of a Recovery Residence

Ohio Recovery Housing is the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, and since the start of 2026 its certification and the state recovery-housing registry have been one list. A certified residence commits in writing to a code of ethics, discloses fees and house rules before move-in, keeps a written relapse and discharge policy, and answers to a complaint process outside the house.
