A Certified Women's Sober House in Champaign County

The house serves women in recovery, and every bedroom, bathroom and house meeting is organized around that single population. Nine beds is a size that keeps residents familiar with each other, which matters for the peer accountability the model depends on. One set of house rules covers everyone living there, disclosed in writing before move-in under the terms of certification.

What Managed-Level Certification Requires of a Recovery Residence

Ohio Recovery Housing is the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, and since the start of 2026 its certification and the state recovery-housing registry have been one list. A certified residence commits in writing to a code of ethics, discloses fees and house rules before intake, keeps a written relapse and discharge policy, and answers to a complaint process outside the house itself. The Managed level describes peer-managed housing with staff oversight and structured daily expectations, with clinical care handled by outside providers.

Applying to This Urbana Sober Living Home

The street address is not published, and placement runs through the operator. The questions worth asking are the ones certification obliges an answer to: what the weekly fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned among nine residents, what happens after a relapse, and how a complaint is escalated past the house.
