About this Sober House
Laurel House is a women's recovery residence in Claremore, Oklahoma, the seat of Rogers County. Seven beds, operated by She Brews, the nonprofit whose recovery housing runs alongside a coffee roastery and a set of cafes in the Tulsa area.
A Seven-Bed Women's Sober House
Seven women share the house. That is large enough to spread the cost and the chores, small enough that a change in someone's behavior is visible within a day. Every resident lives under the same rules and shares common space with women in the same program, which is the point of single-gender recovery housing. Applicants should expect shared bedrooms.
Recovery Housing That Comes With a Paycheck
The distinguishing feature of this program is employment. She Brews runs coffee shops in Tulsa and Claremore, staffs them with women from its own housing, and treats the work as job training. A resident learns a register, a schedule, a supervisor and a customer, and finishes with a reference from a real employer. For a woman whose last documented job predates a prison sentence, that reference is often the single hardest item on a rental application or a custody plan to produce.
Mentors and Community Around a Sober Living Home
Volunteer mentors are matched with women in the program to provide relational, community and spiritual support. Housing and a job solve the logistics of early recovery. They do not by themselves supply anyone to call at nine on a Tuesday night, and the mentor role exists for that gap. Residents keep their own outside meetings, prescribers and counselors.
Claremore Sober Living in Northeastern Oklahoma
Claremore anchors Rogers County and sits on the Route 66 corridor between Tulsa and the Green Country towns to the northeast. The county district court, the Claremore Indian Hospital and Rogers State University are all in the city, and Tulsa's employers and outpatient providers are a short drive away. Recovery housing in this part of the state is heavily concentrated in Tulsa, so a woman who wants a smaller town without leaving the metro's reach has a genuinely short list, and Claremore is on it.
What to Ask This Rogers County Recovery Home
No street address is published, and placement runs through the operator. Before signing, get written answers on the weekly fee and what it covers, whether coffee shop employment is a condition of the bed, how bedrooms are assigned, what happens after a relapse, and how a resident raises a complaint above the house level.
