A Men's Sober House on West 5th Street

The house sits on West 5th Street, a residential corridor in Lorain within walking distance of neighborhood services. Eleven beds makes this a mid-sized household, large enough to offer several residents at similar stages of recovery, small enough that the men living there recognize each other by name.

What Managed-Level Recovery Housing Certification Establishes

Ohio Recovery Housing certification, unified with the state registry since the start of 2026, requires a published code of ethics, fees and house rules disclosed in writing before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process that runs outside the house. The Managed level places Murray's Home in a peer-managed model with staff oversight, and clinical treatment is arranged through outside providers.
