Downtown West Boulevard Recovery Residence Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Downtown West Boulevard Recovery Residence is a coed sober living home in Knoxville, Tennessee, in Knox County, on the street that gives it its name.

A Coed Sober House on Downtown West Boulevard

Men and women live at this address together, so the house runs on a single set of rules covering bedrooms, bathrooms and the house meeting. Downtown West Boulevard sits in West Knoxville, a commercial corridor near the Downtown West Shopping Center, a few miles from the city center along Sutherland Avenue.

West Knoxville's Access to Work and Treatment

Sutherland Avenue and Kingston Pike both connect this stretch of West Knoxville to downtown and to the outpatient providers clustered there, and Knoxville Area Transit runs bus service along the corridor. That combination gives a resident a practical route to a job, a meeting or an appointment without needing a car.

What Tennessee Requires of Recovery Housing

Tennessee requires recovery residences to be certified, and two bodies certify homes in the state: the Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences and Recovery is the New High. Certification requires a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process outside the house. Anyone comparing coed sober living in Knox County should ask directly which body certifies a given address.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This Knoxville Sober House

Ask what the weekly fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms and bathrooms are handled in a coed household, what happens after a positive test, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. Recovery housing in Knox County should answer all five in writing.
