About this Recovery House

Markki's House is a women's sober living home in Portsmouth, Ohio, certified by Ohio Recovery Housing and serving Scioto County. It houses eight residents at the Managed level.

A Certified Women's Sober Living Home in Scioto County

The house is reserved for women, so every shared space, from the kitchen to the living room, is set up for one population. Eight beds is enough to build a real peer network without the house feeling anonymous, and residents tend to learn each other's schedules and routines within the first few weeks.

What Managed Certification Requires of a Sober Living Home

Ohio Recovery Housing certifies the residence at the Managed level: peer-managed housing with staff oversight and structured daily expectations, with clinical care delivered by outside providers. Certification obligates the operator to a published code of ethics, written house rules and fees disclosed before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process that sits outside the house itself.
