37th Court House Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

37th Court House is a certified men's sober living home in Olympia, Washington, in Thurston County. It is operated by Olympia Sober Housing and sits on 37th Court SE in a residential part of the city.

A Men's Sober House on 37th Court

This sober house in Olympia serves men in recovery, and the whole property is built around that: seven private bedrooms, two shared bathrooms and a shared kitchen and laundry room across roughly 2,000 square feet. Every bedroom is furnished, down to a flat-screen television, which keeps a new resident from having to buy anything beyond personal items to move in.

What WAQRR Certification Establishes

Certification through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences, the state's NARR affiliate, commits a residence to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and an outside complaint process. Certification in Washington is voluntary, so a house that carries it has chosen a level of accountability beyond the legal minimum.

Structure at 37th Court House

Olympia Sober Housing runs its houses on a 30-day introductory period with a 10 PM curfew and a 5 AM earliest departure, no overnight guests or absences during that stretch, and a weekly house meeting. There is no fixed limit on how long a resident can stay once that period ends, which lets men move at the pace their recovery actually needs instead of a program's calendar.

Recovery Housing in Thurston County

Olympia is the state capital and the seat of Thurston County, which puts residents of this sober house within reach of state offices, outpatient providers and Providence St. Peter Hospital without leaving the city. That density of services is part of why Thurston County recovery housing tends to concentrate in and around Olympia instead of the smaller towns nearby.

Olympia Sober Housing's Men's and Women's Homes

37th Court House is one of three houses Olympia Sober Housing runs in the area. Ranger House is a second men's residence in Olympia, and The Lake House serves women in the same city. A resident who later needs a different setting can raise it with an operator who already runs the alternative down the road.
