A Managed Women's Recovery Residence in Cleveland

Eight beds gives Helmsdale a mid-sized household for a women's residence, large enough to sustain a full peer group while staying small enough for staff to know every resident. Structured daily expectations come from the Managed level, and clinical treatment is handled by outside providers.

Ohio Recovery Housing Certification at the Managed Level

Ohio Recovery Housing is the state's National Alliance for Recovery Residences affiliate, and its certification list has been merged with the state's recovery-housing registry since the start of 2026. Certified houses commit in writing to a 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 street address is not published, and placement runs through the operator. What's worth asking: what the fee includes, how the eight beds are assigned, and how a complaint reaches someone outside the house.
