Madison Avenue Sober Living Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Madison Avenue Sober Living is a coed sober living home on Madison Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, in Shelby County.

A Coed Sober House in Memphis's Medical District

Men and women share this address, so the same house rules and the same house meeting cover everyone living there. Madison Avenue runs straight through the Memphis Medical District, a corridor anchored by Methodist University Hospital and the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and that geography matters for someone rebuilding a routine: pharmacies, outpatient clinics and bus lines converge on a few blocks here in a way they do not elsewhere in the city.

Getting Around Shelby County from This Address

Union Avenue and the Interstate 40 and 240 interchanges sit close by, and MATA's downtown and midtown routes both run within a short walk. A resident without a car can reach appointments, a job downtown or in midtown, and the Shelby County courts without depending on a ride.

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 obliges a residence to publish a code of ethics, disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, and accept complaints reviewed outside the house. Anyone comparing sober living in Memphis should ask directly which body certifies a given house and ask to see the paperwork.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This Memphis Sober House

The questions worth asking are the ones a house should answer plainly: what the weekly fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms and bathrooms are assigned in a coed household, what happens after a positive drug test, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. A resident considering Shelby County recovery housing should get those answers before signing anything.
