The Counseling Center Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Counseling Center is a recovery residence in Portsmouth, Ohio, in Scioto County, certified by Ohio Recovery Housing for both men and women. It houses residents alongside their children and is fully wheelchair accessible.

A Family-Inclusive Sober Living Home

Most recovery residences separate a parent from young children during the early months of sobriety. This one does not. Housing residents with children changes what stability looks like here: a resident is not choosing between recovery and custody, and daily structure has to account for school schedules and childcare alongside house rules. That single policy shapes the household more than any other detail available about it.

What Ohio Recovery Housing Certification Establishes

The residence is certified by Ohio Recovery Housing, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Certification means a published code of ethics, fees and house rules disclosed in writing before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process that runs outside the house itself.

Portsmouth and Scioto County Recovery Housing

Portsmouth is the seat of Scioto County and sits along the Ohio River at the mouth of the Scioto, with Southern Ohio Medical Center and the Scioto County Courthouse both inside city limits. A resident here can keep a court date, see a provider and reach outpatient services without leaving the county, which matters for anyone whose case plan runs through more than one office.

Accessibility at This Scioto County Recovery Home

The property is wheelchair accessible, an accommodation many certified homes in the county do not offer. Combined with the family policy, it puts this residence among the more accommodating options for Scioto County recovery housing.

The street address is not published, and placement runs through The Counseling Center directly. Worth asking about: how the household balances mixed genders and children, what accessibility accommodations are already in place, and how fees and house expectations are documented before move-in.
