Southern Oklahoma Addiction Recovery Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Southern Oklahoma Addiction Recovery is a men's sober house in Ada, Oklahoma, in Pontotoc County, run as a long-term therapeutic work program for nonviolent offenders.

A Men's Recovery Residence Built Around Work

Residents at Southern Oklahoma Addiction Recovery hold jobs while living in the program, combining steady employment with ongoing addiction treatment. That structure gives men leaving the criminal justice system a path to self-sufficiency alongside recovery.

An Alternative to Incarceration

The program was created around 2008 specifically as a court-ordered alternative to jail for nonviolent drug and alcohol offenders in southern Oklahoma, a gap that did not have a long-term solution before it existed. Referrals typically come through the courts working alongside local employers and community organizations.

Currently Serving Men Only

The program currently accepts men, with a stated goal of expanding to serve women in a similar track in the future. Anyone inquiring on behalf of a woman should ask directly about the timeline for that expansion.
