Sonder House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Sonder House is a men's recovery residence in Youngstown, Ohio, serving Mahoning County. Broadway Recovery Services operates it, a nonprofit that has housed men and women in the Mahoning Valley since 2015 and now runs ten residences across two counties.

A Men's Recovery Residence in Youngstown

Sonder House serves men, and it works the way the rest of the Broadway Recovery Services system does: peer accountability inside the house, clinical and case management support attached to the organization, and a defined path out. Residents arrive from detox, from residential treatment, from jail and from the street. What they share on the first day is an assessment, a set of written expectations and a house of men at the same stage.

Community Service and the Sober Living Routine

Residents across Broadway Recovery Services put in more than 600 hours a month of community service with local nonprofit partners. That is a real part of the weekly rhythm in a house like this one. It fills the hours that sink people in early recovery, it builds a current work history for someone whose last reference is years old, and it puts residents in front of Youngstown organizations that hire. Employment is expected to follow within sixty to ninety days.

What the Record Shows About These Recovery Homes

Since 2019, more than 400 residents have discharged positively from Broadway Recovery Services, which the organization reports as 55 percent of its total discharges. Average length of stay is about 130 days. Those two figures describe a program built around a few months of structure and a planned exit, and they are the kind of number a resident or a referring counselor can hold the house to.

Counseling and Case Management for Residents

Credentialed staff provide peer recovery support, case management, mental health counseling, substance use disorder counseling and community psychiatric supportive treatment. Ohio's recovery housing registry records Broadway Recovery Services residences as MAT supported and open to residents managing co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, so a man on buprenorphine or methadone keeps his prescription and his address aligned.

Applying to the Sonder House

Broadway Recovery Services publishes no street address for this house, and placement runs through the organization. Admission requires completed medical detox or at least seven days substance-free, an application and a phone interview. Ohio Recovery Housing maintains the state's certified residence list, which is where the status of any specific address can be confirmed.
