New Journey Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

New Journey is a women's sober living home in Akron, Ohio, in Summit County. It houses three residents and carries certification from Ohio Recovery Housing at the Managed level.

A Certified Women's Sober House in Summit County

The house serves women only, and its small size keeps residents in close contact with each other and with staff. Bathrooms, bedrooms and house meetings follow one set of expectations built around that single population.

A Small Three-Bed Recovery Residence

Three beds is among the smallest households in the certified network, and it changes the texture of the house. Residents share nearly everything, and a single relapse or departure is felt by the whole household.

What Managed Certification Requires of This Sober Home

Ohio Recovery Housing certifies the house at the Managed level, meaning peer leadership works under staff oversight with a documented daily structure. Certification also requires a published code of ethics, fees and rules disclosed before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process outside the house.
