The Friend Agency Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Friend Agency is a men's sober living home in Dayton, Ohio, in Montgomery County, certified by Ohio Recovery Housing at the Managed level. Five men share the house, a size that keeps the household easy to run and easy to know.

A Managed-Level Sober Living Home for Men

The Managed level describes peer-managed housing with staff oversight and a structured routine, while medical and clinical care come from outside providers the residents already see. Five beds is small enough that house meetings function the way they are supposed to: everyone present, everyone accountable to the same short list of rules.

What Ohio Recovery Housing Certification Requires of a Recovery Residence

Certification through Ohio Recovery Housing, the state's National Alliance for Recovery Residences affiliate, obligates a written code of ethics, disclosed fees and house rules before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process that sits outside the house itself. Since the start of 2026 that certification and the state's own recovery-housing registry have been the same list.

Recovery Housing in Dayton and Montgomery County

Dayton is the seat of Montgomery County and one of Ohio's larger cities, with the courts, hospitals and colleges a resident rebuilding a routine actually needs close by. Sinclair Community College, the University of Dayton, and hospital systems including Miami Valley Hospital and the Dayton VA Medical Center all operate within the city, so appointments, classes and treatment follow-ups rarely require leaving town.
