SURRENDER HOUSE Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Surrender 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 eight beds.

An Eight-Bed Managed Sober Living Home

Eight beds puts this house among the operator's larger residences, and a bigger household means more people at different points in recovery sharing one roof. The house is wheelchair accessible, and staff oversee a household that otherwise runs on peer structure and shared responsibility.

What Managed Certification Obligates a Recovery Home to Do

Ohio Recovery Housing requires every Managed-level residence to publish a code of ethics, disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a documented relapse and discharge policy, and answer to a complaint process outside the house. Treatment itself stays with providers separate from the residence.

Shawnee State University and Sober Living in Portsmouth

Shawnee State University sits in Portsmouth and offers degree and certificate programs a resident can pursue while living in the house, from associate coursework to bachelor's degrees, without relocating out of the county. For someone rebuilding an education a relapse interrupted, that option is inside the same city as the residence.

Applying to This Portsmouth Sober House

No address is published for the residence, and an application runs through St. Helen's Homes. Ask what the fee covers, whether staff are on site, how eight beds get managed day to day, and how a relapse is handled.
