Hope House Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Hope House is a coed sober living community in Huron, South Dakota, serving Beadle County. It takes men and women aged 18 and older, and it is a faith-based home rather than a treatment facility.

How This Sober Living Community Started

The house grew out of a Bible study taken into the Beadle County Jail. The founder met women there who had nowhere safe to go on release, and Hope House was the answer to that gap. Origins like this tend to shape a program, and here the emphasis on serving people others have written off runs straight through it.

What This Recovery Home Asks of Residents

Guests pay monthly fees, maintain employment, attend outside recovery meetings and follow house guidelines. Fees are 300 dollars for the first month and 400 dollars each month after. Admission runs through an application followed by an interview with the executive director.

Placement and the Address for This Recovery Residence

The street address is not published. Anyone seeking a bed applies through the operator and interviews before placement, which is the standard route for a house serving both men and women.

Beadle County Recovery Housing and Why Huron Works

Huron is the seat of Beadle County, a city of about 14,000 that anchors a wide stretch of the James River valley. County offices, the courthouse and a food processing and agricultural employment base are all here. For someone leaving treatment in a town of a few hundred nearby, Huron is realistically the nearest place where a job, a meeting and a probation appointment all exist within the same few miles.

Employment as the Backbone of This Sober House

Maintaining a job is a requirement, not a suggestion. Huron's processing plants and service employers hire steadily and hire year-round, which makes that requirement achievable in a way it would not be in many South Dakota towns of comparable size.

Certification for Sober Living in South Dakota

South Dakota has neither a NARR affiliate nor licensure for recovery residences, so no home in the state carries certification. Hope House is on the state Division of Behavioral Health's published list of participating recovery housing providers.
