About this Recovery House
Broadway Recovery Services BRS 6 is a men's sober house in Salem, Ohio, in Columbiana County. It is the only Broadway Recovery Services residence outside Mahoning County, and it gives the organization a foothold in the smaller towns southwest of Youngstown.
A Men's Sober House in Salem
Salem sits in the northwest corner of Columbiana County, far enough from Youngstown to be its own town and close enough to stay inside the same recovery network. For a man who wants distance from the streets he used in, that gap is part of what the address buys. The house serves men, so bathrooms, house meetings and common space are single-gender and one set of expectations covers everyone living there.
Columbiana County Recovery Housing
Columbiana County holds far less recovery housing than Mahoning, and most of what exists clusters in its few small cities. Salem has Salem Regional Medical Center and a Kent State University regional campus, and East State Street carries much of the city's employment and services. Lisbon, the county seat, is where court obligations are met. A resident with a Salem address can reach medical care, classes and work on foot or by a short ride, and the county business that requires travel is predictable.
Structure and Length of Stay in This Recovery Home
Broadway Recovery Services runs one program across all of its houses. Men are admitted after medical detox or seven days substance-free, complete a substance use and mental health assessment at intake, and spend their first thirty days in a blackout period that limits outside contact. Employment is expected within sixty to ninety days. Average length of stay is about 130 days, and residents step from primary houses to satellite houses to independent living as they go.
Certification and Ohio's Recovery Housing Registry
Broadway Recovery Services operates certified recovery housing, and Ohio Recovery Housing certifies residence by residence with a published level for each address. Certification commits a house to fees and rules handed over in writing before move-in, a code of ethics, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process. Anyone applying to a specific house should confirm that address in the state registry, because certification travels with the residence.
Applying to This Salem Sober Living Home
The street address is not published, and placement is handled by Broadway Recovery Services in Youngstown. Applications begin with a form and a phone interview. Referrals come from treatment providers, hospitals, courts and mental health professionals across both counties, and the organization's staff are used to working with probation and parole.
