About this Sober House
Hope is Alive Recovery Home H3 is a men's recovery home in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in Oklahoma County, certified at Level 2 by the Oklahoma Alliance for Recovery Resources. Nine men live here on a program that runs a year to eighteen months, which is a far longer commitment than most sober living asks for.
A Men's Recovery Home on Oklahoma City's North Side
This house sits on the north side of Oklahoma City, in the stretch between Britton Road and the Quail Springs commercial district where the Broadway Extension and the Kilpatrick Turnpike meet. It is a settled residential part of the county with sidewalks, established neighborhoods and a large retail and medical employment base within a few miles. For a man in his first months out of treatment, the practical value of the location is that work, a meeting and a pharmacy do not each require a separate expedition.
The Hope is Alive Curriculum and a Twelve to Eighteen Month Stay
The program runs in three phases and takes a year to eighteen months to finish. That length is the single biggest thing separating this house from ordinary sober living, and a prospective resident should weigh it seriously. Eighteen months is long enough to finish a legal case, pay down a debt, repair a relationship and hold one job the whole way through. It is also long enough that a man who is only trying to satisfy a court order will find it intolerable. The curriculum is written by the ministry and used in every house it runs, and residents work through it in a required midweek session alongside a Monday study for the first six months and a Sunday speaker meeting for the whole stay.
Drug Testing and Accountability in This Sober House
Testing is sixteen-panel, on move-in and then at random through the stay. Accountability past the test is structural: a sobriety coach is attached to the house, mentors are matched to residents, and community volunteers come through the homes with meals and encouragement on a regular basis. The ministry is led by people who finished the program themselves, so the man enforcing a curfew has usually been on the other side of that conversation. Nine beds keeps the house small enough that nobody drifts through unnoticed.
OKARR Level 2 Sober Living Certification in Oklahoma
The house is certified at Level 2 by the Oklahoma Alliance for Recovery Resources, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Certification obliges written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a published code of ethics, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint route outside the house. Level 2 means peer-managed housing with a manager on site and structured daily expectations. OKARR certifies house by house, so the certification on this address belongs to this address.
Choosing Between Hope is Alive Recovery Homes in Oklahoma City
Six men's houses carry the Hope is Alive name in Oklahoma City, spread across the northwest, north and far south sides, and they range from nine beds to twelve. A man applies to the ministry and not to a specific house, and the admissions team places him. That is worth knowing in advance, because it means the useful question at application is not which address, it is what a resident needs from a house: a smaller peer group, a shorter commute to a particular employer, or distance from a specific neighborhood. Hope is Alive also runs houses in Broken Arrow, Bixby, Claremore and Weatherford, and in five other states.
