Broadway Recovery Services Satellite 1 Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Broadway Recovery Services Satellite 1 is a women's sober living home in Youngstown, Ohio, in Mahoning County. It is one of three satellite houses for women that Broadway Recovery Services runs alongside its larger Gypsy House residence.

A Women's Sober Living Home in the Satellite Phase

Broadway Recovery Services runs three stages of housing. Primary recovery homes come first, satellite houses second, and independent housing last with support still attached. Satellite 1 is a second-stage house, and that is the thing to understand about it. Women here have already done the early weeks somewhere with more supervision and have earned a lighter touch.

What the Satellite Stage Changes in Recovery Housing

The satellite houses offer a more independent living environment while keeping access to the organization's support and resources. In practice a woman keeps her case manager, her counseling and her peer support, and takes on more of her own schedule. Employment is expected within sixty to ninety days of entering the program, so most residents at this stage are working. Average length of stay across all Broadway Recovery Services housing is about 130 days.

Certification and Ohio's Recovery Housing Standards

Broadway Recovery Services operates certified recovery housing through Ohio Recovery Housing, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Ohio certifies one residence at a time and publishes a level for each: Peer-Run, Managed or Supervised. Certification commits a house to a code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process outside the house. The status of a specific address can be confirmed in the state registry before applying.

Women's Recovery Housing in Mahoning County

Youngstown is the seat of Mahoning County and holds the county's hospitals, courts, transit and treatment providers. Women's recovery housing here is limited, and an operator running four women's houses in one city covers a meaningful share of it. Western Reserve Transit Authority buses connect the neighborhoods to downtown and the hospital corridors, which matters at the satellite stage when a resident is holding a job.

How to Reach This Youngstown Sober House

Broadway Recovery Services does not publish street addresses for its residences, and placement runs through the organization. Entry into a satellite house normally follows time in a primary recovery home, so a woman applying from outside the program starts with the standard admission process: completed medical detox or seven days substance-free, an application, a phone interview, and an assessment at admission.
