A Twelve-Bed Women's Sober Living Home in Lawrence County

The house is the only women's residence among the operator's six Ironton-area homes, and its size reflects that: twelve women share the household, with bedrooms, bathrooms and meetings kept single-gender throughout. A larger household asks more of house structure, which is where Managed-level certification does its work.

What Managed Certification Requires of This Recovery Residence

Ohio Recovery Housing certification commits the operator to a written code of ethics, fees and house rules disclosed before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process outside the house. At the Managed level, staff oversee a peer-led household and keep the daily schedule structured, while residents see their own outside providers for treatment.
