Men's Tribal House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Men's Tribal House is a men's sober living home in Midvale, Utah, in Salt Lake County. It holds 27 beds on 700 East, making it one of the larger single-site men's residences in the Salt Lake Valley, and it has drawn local news coverage for its approach to medical cannabis in recovery.

A 27-Bed Men's Sober House

At 27 beds, Men's Tribal House runs at a scale closer to a dedicated recovery campus than a typical single-family sober house. Founder Shane Ericksen built the program around men coming out of incarceration and into recovery, describing the culture inside the house as one of no shame and no judgment.

A Harm-Reduction Approach to Medical Cannabis

Men's Tribal House has been reported as one of the first sober living homes in Utah to formally accommodate medical cannabis as part of recovery. Roughly half of residents hold a state medical cannabis card, obtain their medicine through licensed pharmacies, and are assessed by a doctor to determine whether a cannabis treatment plan fits their recovery. Ericksen has pointed to chronic pain and PTSD as common reasons residents use it, describing the effect as calming and protective against relapse.

Housing Men Coming Out of Incarceration

The house's population leans heavily toward men recently released from incarceration and working through the early stages of recovery. That focus shapes daily structure around reentry: steady routine, peer accountability, and a judgment-free environment for residents managing pain, trauma or PTSD alongside substance use recovery.

Midvale and the Salt Lake Valley

Midvale sits in Salt Lake County between Sandy and Murray along the Wasatch Front, close to TRAX light rail and the county's broader network of treatment providers, courts and reentry services. That access matters for a house this size, where residents are managing appointments, medical cannabis assessments and employment simultaneously while rebuilding a routine after incarceration.
