About this Sober House
Stepping Stones #5 is a men's sober house in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in Tulsa County. It is OKARR Certified at Level 3 and operated by Community Treatment Integrations of Oklahoma, the nonprofit that also provides the outpatient counseling, treatment and court diversion services many of its residents use. The residence sits in the 74136 ZIP code in south Tulsa.
A Men's Sober House in South Tulsa
Men live here, and that one restriction settles bathrooms, house meetings, common space and a single set of expectations for everyone under the roof. The Stepping Stones houses are numbered and run as a group, so a man applies to the operator and is considered for whichever men's residence has a bed. South Tulsa is a practical place to be doing this. Work, meetings and appointments cluster along the same few corridors, and Tulsa Transit reaches most of them.
Court Diversion and Recovery Housing Under One Organization
A meaningful share of men entering recovery housing in Oklahoma arrive through a court. Community Treatment Integrations of Oklahoma publishes court diversion among its adult men's services, alongside substance use treatment, problem gambling services, counseling and mental health care. When the same nonprofit holds the housing and the diversion program, compliance paperwork, treatment attendance and a stable address stop being three separate relationships. For a man on a drug court docket, that is the difference between one point of contact and several.
OKARR Level 3 and What the Supervised Tier Means for a Sober Living Home
The Oklahoma Alliance for Recovery Resources certifies this residence at Level 3, the supervised tier. Level 3 describes a house with an organization behind it: paid staff, administrative oversight, written policies and a defined program. Certification at any level commits the residence to a code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an external complaint process. Oklahoma makes none of that mandatory, which is why the credential carries weight.
Getting Around Tulsa From This Recovery Residence
Tulsa is the seat of Tulsa County and the largest city in Green Country. Interstate 44 runs across the south side, Route 66 follows Eleventh Street through the older part of town, and the Broken Arrow Expressway connects to the suburbs east of the city. The county courthouse, the outpatient providers and the community college campuses all fall within the county line.
What to Confirm Before Moving Into This Men's Sober House
The address is not published and placement runs through the operator, which is how certified residences work in this state. Confirm the fee and what it includes, whether staff are on site overnight, how bedrooms are assigned, the policy after a relapse, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. Certification requires the house to answer all five in writing.
