The Gaal Sober House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Gaal Sober House is a men's sober house in Memphis, Tennessee, in Shelby County.

A Men's Sober House on Hacks Cross Road

The Gaal House opened in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built to house men who have recently completed alcohol or drug treatment. The organization's stated purpose is to keep the environment sober, safe, and spirit-filled while residents rebuild fiscal management, spiritual grounding, and the practical life skills that treatment alone does not teach.

Structure Built Around Work and Meetings

Residents at the Gaal Sober House are expected to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and to pursue employment, and the organization backs that expectation with job training, life-coping skills instruction, and substance abuse counseling delivered on top of the housing itself. That combination of housing and structured support is closer to a program than a plain room-for-rent arrangement.

What Certification Confirms About This Memphis Sober House

The Gaal Sober House is operated by a certified operator, and certification in Tennessee, whether through the Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences or Recovery is the New High, commits a residence to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules, and a complaint process outside the house. The state publishes no certification levels, so this designation is simply certified.

Recovery Housing in Memphis and Shelby County

Memphis anchors Shelby County and West Tennessee more broadly, and the Hacks Cross Road corridor sits in the southeastern part of the city near the Mississippi state line, within reach of Southaven and the greater Memphis job market. That location puts residents close to outpatient providers and employers on both sides of the state line, which matters for a program built around steady work.
