A Peer-Run Sober House for Women in Akron

The house serves women only, and residents carry primary responsibility for the household under the Peer-Run model, with lighter outside staffing than a managed or supervised home. Six beds and wheelchair accessibility together mean the house can serve a resident with mobility needs inside a small, close peer group.

What Peer-Run Certification Requires of This Recovery Residence

Ohio Recovery Housing requires a certified house to maintain a written code of ethics, disclose fees and house rules before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, and answer to a complaint process outside the house. The Peer-Run level places daily responsibility with residents themselves, with no live-in staff.
