Women's 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 eight residents.

A Certified Women's Sober House in Summit County

The house holds women only, and eight beds keeps the household small enough for residents to know each other, which is what peer accountability depends on day to day. The home also supports residents with children, a narrower commitment than housing alone since shared space and staffing both have to account for a parent living there with a child.

A Recovery Residence Supporting Women With Children

Not every certified home makes room for a resident's children, and this one does. That commitment shapes daily life beyond the rules that apply to any sober home: schedules, shared space and house expectations all have to work for a parent as well as for the woman in recovery.

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.
