Third Street Home Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Third Street Home is a men's sober living home on Third Street in downtown Mount Vernon, Washington, in Skagit County. RISE Recovery operates the eight-bed residence, and it carries Level 2 certification from the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences.

Eight Beds for Men in Downtown Mount Vernon

Third Street Home houses eight men in recovery in the middle of downtown Mount Vernon, close enough to walk to the county courthouse, Skagit Transit's downtown hub and the retail and food-service jobs that line the same blocks. A house assistant lives on site, which keeps someone in the building around the clock instead of checking in on a schedule.

What WAQRR Level 2 Certification Means Here

The Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences certifies Third Street Home at Level 2, the peer-managed tier of its standard: staff or a peer manager on site, structured house expectations and clinical care handled by outside providers instead of in-house. Certification also commits the house to a published code of ethics, written fees and rules, and an outside complaint process, which gives a prospective resident something to check beyond the operator's own word.

How RISE Recovery Structures This Sober House

RISE Recovery runs Third Street Home on the same peer-support model it uses across its Mount Vernon properties: residents living in recovery manage the house day to day, with a house assistant on site to hold the structure together. That model keeps the fee lower than a staffed clinical setting while still giving residents a consistent presence in the building.

Recovery Housing in Skagit County

Mount Vernon is the seat of Skagit County, and a downtown address puts Third Street Home within reach of the county's courts, its outpatient treatment providers and the Skagit Transit routes that connect Mount Vernon to Burlington and the rest of the county. For a resident without a car, that concentration is often the deciding factor in choosing a Mount Vernon sober house over a more rural option.

RISE Recovery's Other Mount Vernon Sober Homes

Third Street Home is one of three RISE Recovery properties in Mount Vernon. Broadway Home is a second eight-bed men's residence downtown, and the Windsor Apartments give the operator four additional units on Windsor Drive. A resident who needs a different setting within the same program can raise it with an organization that already knows him.
