GARY HIGHTOWER HOUSE Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Gary Hightower House is a men's sober living home in Portsmouth, Ohio, certified by Ohio Recovery Housing and serving Scioto County. It is certified at the Managed level and holds nine beds, one of the operator's larger residences.

A Nine-Bed Managed Sober House

Nine beds is a larger household than most of the operator's other houses, and size changes what a house offers. More residents means more people further along in recovery to model routine for someone just arriving, and a house manager has more people to lean on when scheduling meetings or covering chores.

Certification Requirements Behind This Recovery Residence

Managed certification from Ohio Recovery Housing requires a code of ethics the operator commits to in writing, fees and house rules disclosed before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process a resident can take outside the house. The residence is wheelchair accessible as well.

Scioto County Courthouse and Sober Living in Portsmouth

The Scioto County Courthouse sits in Portsmouth, and many residents entering sober living arrive with a court date, a probation check-in or a diversion program still open. Living in the same city as the courthouse means that obligation does not require travel, which matters most in the early months when missing a date can undo other progress.

The street address is not published, and placement runs through St. Helen's Homes. Ask what the weekly cost covers, how nine beds get filled and vacated, whether staff live on site, and how the house handles a relapse.
