Smith Rd Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Smith Rd is a men's sober living home in Columbus, Ohio, certified by Ohio Recovery Housing and serving Franklin County. The house is certified at the Managed level and holds five beds.

Peer Structure in a Five-Bed Recovery Residence

Five men share the household, small enough that residents notice quickly when someone is struggling and can hold each other accountable without a large staff presence. Managed certification pairs that peer structure with an operator that oversees the house and sets consistent expectations, while medical and clinical treatment stays with providers residents already see outside the house. Lighthouse Behavioral Health Solutions runs the property as part of a larger group of certified men's and women's homes in central Ohio.

Ohio Recovery Housing Certification and What It Obliges

Certification requires a published code of ethics, fees and rules disclosed before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process that runs outside the house. Since 2026 the certification list and Ohio's state recovery-housing registry are one and the same, so a prospective resident or family member can confirm the standing independently.

Franklin County Recovery Housing and Civic Resources

Columbus is the seat of Franklin County government and courts and hosts Ohio State University, Nationwide Children's Hospital and the region's OhioHealth and Mount Carmel hospital systems. The COTA bus network covers most of the city, connecting a resident on the west side to work, medical appointments and legal obligations without needing a car.

Applying to This Franklin County Sober House

The street address is not published, and an applicant works through Lighthouse Behavioral Health Solutions to arrange placement. It is worth asking what the weekly fee covers, how the five beds are assigned, whether staff or a house manager is on site, and what happens under the written policy after a relapse.
