About this Sober House
Shefa House is a men's sober living home in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the seat of Oklahoma County. Seventeen beds, OKARR Certified Level 2, operated by Prana Group in the 73119 ZIP code on the southwest side of the city.
A Men's Sober House in Southwest Oklahoma City
Seventeen beds puts this in the middle of the size range for certified recovery housing in the Oklahoma City metro, large enough to run a real house schedule and small enough that a new arrival has met everyone by the end of his first day. Southwest Oklahoma City is a working part of town along the Interstate 240 and Interstate 44 corridors, with warehouse, retail and service employment and housing costs below the north side. For a man paying his own program fee out of a new job, that arithmetic matters.
Structure and Accountability in This Recovery Residence
Prana Group describes a straightforward model: comfortable housing for people committed to long-term sobriety, house meetings that build accountability and trust, required attendance at Twelve Step meetings, and house rules designed to hold the whole thing together. Residents are connected to counseling, employment support, legal services and life skills development. The operator states that it leads with positivity and community in place of scare tactics, which is a real distinction between houses and one a prospective resident should test in conversation.
What OKARR Level 2 Certification Requires of This Sober Living Home
Certification comes from the Oklahoma Alliance for Recovery Resources, the only body certifying recovery residences in the state, at Level 2. Level 2 is the monitored tier, describing a house manager, written rules, structured peer accountability and clinical care from outside providers. Certification binds the residence to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and house rules before anyone moves in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process that reaches outside the house. Oklahoma exempts standalone recovery residences from mandatory certification.
Recovery Housing in Oklahoma County and the Metro
Oklahoma City is the state capital and the seat of Oklahoma County, and it holds the second largest concentration of certified recovery residences in the state after Tulsa. The metro's outpatient providers, the county courthouse, the drug court and the community college campuses are spread across a wide grid, and the highway ring makes most of it reachable. Oklahoma's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services maintains statewide treatment and recovery resources.
Applying to This Oklahoma City Men's Recovery Home
The street address is not published, and applications go through Prana Group's online application. Ask what the fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned, what the policy is after a relapse, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. A certified residence has to answer those in writing before move-in.
