About this Recovery House

Burgess is a men's sober living home in Columbus, Ohio, certified by Ohio Recovery Housing and located within Franklin County.

A Sober House Near Columbus's Education Corridor

Columbus State Community College and several workforce training programs operate in the city, and men rebuilding a resume or finishing a credential have access to both from a Columbus address. Recovery housing works best when it does not compete with the rest of a resident's routine, and proximity to school and training options is part of what keeps that routine intact.

Six Residents Under One Set of Managed Recovery Housing Rules

Burgess holds six beds under Ohio Recovery Housing's Managed level, which sets peer-run daily life against a backdrop of outside oversight. Every resident receives the same written fee schedule and house rules before moving in, and the same relapse and discharge policy applies regardless of how long someone has lived there.

This Recovery Residence's Certification and Complaint Process

The certification requires a published code of ethics and a complaint process that runs outside the house itself. The National Alliance for Recovery Residences sets the national standard that Ohio Recovery Housing applies locally, and since 2026 that certification has matched Ohio's own recovery residence registry.
