Portage lakes house Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Portage lakes house is a women's sober living home in Akron, Ohio, certified by Ohio Recovery Housing and serving Summit County. It is certified at the Managed level and houses four residents.

A Small Certified Women's Sober House

Four beds makes this one of the smaller certified homes in the county, and a small household leaves little room for anyone to go unnoticed if something is off. Managed-level certification pairs that peer structure with staff oversight and clinical care from outside providers.

A Recovery Residence Named for the Portage Lakes

The house takes its name from the Portage Lakes, a cluster of small lakes just south of Akron in Summit County known locally for boating and a state park by the same name. The area sits outside Akron's dense core, with a slower pace than downtown.

What Managed Certification Establishes for This Recovery Home

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.
