Sangha Xanthus Men's Sober House

About this Sober House

Sangha Xanthus is a men's recovery home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in Tulsa County. Six certified beds, OKARR Certified Level 2, operated by Sangha, Inc. in the Kendall-Whittier neighborhood close to downtown.

A Men's Sober House in Kendall-Whittier

Kendall-Whittier is one of Tulsa's oldest neighborhoods, sitting between downtown and the University of Tulsa on the historic Route 66 corridor. It is walkable in a way most of the city is not, with a commercial main street, a farmers market and the Circle Cinema all inside the district. Sangha publishes the house as close to that market, to the cinema, to a grocery store, to bus lines and to Battle Creek Church, and notes the view of the downtown skyline from the property.

Layout and Capacity in This Recovery Residence

The house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas, with a large wraparound front porch, and the operator updated it before opening. Six beds are certified. A porch sounds like a detail until you have lived in a house of six men, where the difference between one common room and two is the difference between an argument and someone stepping outside. Two living areas at this size means a resident can be alone in the house without leaving it.

What Level 2 Certification Requires of This Sober Living Home

Certification comes from the Oklahoma Alliance for Recovery Resources, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Level 2 is the monitored tier: a house manager, written rules, peer accountability, and clinical care from outside providers. The credential binds the house to a code of ethics, to disclosing fees and rules in writing before move-in, to a written relapse and discharge policy, and to an external complaint process.

Downtown Access and Recovery Housing in Tulsa County

Proximity to downtown is a practical asset for a man in early recovery. The Tulsa County courthouse, the district court, the probation offices and a large share of the city's Twelve Step meetings are all within a short bus ride of Kendall-Whittier, and downtown employment runs from hospitality through construction. Tulsa is the county seat and the largest city in Green Country. The house number is not published, and placement runs through Sangha's application.
