Bridge House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Bridge House is a women's sober living home in Cleveland, Ohio, operated by Stella Maris and certified by Ohio Recovery Housing, serving Cuyahoga County. The residence is certified at the Managed level and houses nineteen residents.

A Managed-Level Sober House for Women

Bridge House runs as a peer-managed household with staff oversight layered on top, the middle point on Ohio Recovery Housing's ladder between a peer-run home and a fully supervised one. Nineteen beds keeps it close in size to Stella Maris's other women's residence, and the name suggests its purpose: a house meant to carry residents from early recovery toward more independent living.

What Managed Certification Establishes at This Recovery Residence

A Managed-level residence still meets every baseline Ohio Recovery Housing certification requires: a published code of ethics, fees and house rules disclosed in writing before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process that runs outside the house. What changes at the Managed level is the balance of peer responsibility against staff oversight, with clinical care handled by outside providers either way.
