Family House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Family House is a women's sober living home in Franklin Furnace, Ohio, a Scioto County community along the Ohio River, certified by Ohio Recovery Housing at the Peer-Run level.

A Sober Living Home for Women With Children

The house is one of the few certified recovery residences in the area that accepts residents with children living with them, which keeps a parent from choosing between recovery housing and staying with her kids. Ten beds gives the household enough size to run a full schedule of peer-led meetings while still keeping a family feel.

What Peer-Run Certification Means at This Recovery Residence

Peer-Run is Ohio Recovery Housing's most resident-directed level: people in recovery lead the house themselves, without live-in staff, though the operator still carries the same certification obligations as its Managed and Supervised houses. A published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process all apply here just as they would at a staffed house.

Franklin Furnace and Scioto County Recovery Housing

Franklin Furnace sits along US Route 52 between Portsmouth, the Scioto County seat, and the Lawrence County line, in a stretch of the Ohio River valley known historically for its iron furnaces. Portsmouth's courts, hospitals and services are a short drive away.
