Papilion House - Ottawa Drive Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Papilion House - Ottawa Drive is a sober living home in West Valley City, Utah, in Salt Lake County, one of six recovery residences run under Papilion Integrated Recovery Center across the Wasatch Front.

Recovery Housing on Ottawa Drive

The Ottawa Drive house sits in a residential neighborhood in western West Valley City, within reach of the city's stretch of the Utah Transit Authority bus network and the retail corridor along 3500 South. Papilion runs the house on a shared-responsibility basis: residents split chores and household expenses, and a house manager checks in daily instead of living there full time.

A State-Licensed Recovery Residence

Recovery residences in Utah operate under a single mandatory license issued by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Licensing; there is no separate voluntary certification track in the state. Papilion states its housing is licensed under this framework and holds accreditation to Joint Commission standards as an additional, independent benchmark.

Peer Accountability and House Rules

Everyone living at the Ottawa Drive house is expected to work a 12-step program with an active sponsor and attend regular meetings. Papilion enforces a zero-tolerance policy toward substance use and violence, and frames the whole arrangement as voluntary fellowship: residents choose the structure. Employment, active job searching or community service is required of every resident.

Services Layered Onto the Housing

Alongside the house itself, Papilion provides licensed counseling, case management, sober coaching, life skills training and assistance with transportation and employment. The home is not equipped for specialized medical care, so residents needing that level of treatment are referred to outside providers while keeping their address at the house.

Part of Papilion's West Valley City Cluster

Ottawa Drive is one of three Papilion houses in West Valley City, with the operator's other two Utah properties in Orem and American Fork. Concentrating houses in one city means residents can move between Papilion addresses without losing access to the same case managers and support staff.
