Nine Strong Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Nine Strong is a men's sober living home in Olympia, Washington, in Thurston County, operated by Living Clean and Inspired. It holds Level 2 certification from Washington's Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences.

A Men's Recovery Home in the State Capital

Nine Strong houses men transitioning out of treatment, incarceration or homelessness in Olympia, Washington's capital and the seat of Thurston County. The name reflects the house's emphasis on the group itself: residents are expected to lean on each other, not just on staff, to get through the early, unstable months of recovery.

Accountability Built Into Peer Community

Supportive community living is one of the four pillars Living Clean and Inspired builds every house around, and at Nine Strong that translates into a household where residents check each other's progress as much as any house manager does. A man who has already found a job or a sponsor is expected to help the next resident find one too.

Certified Through WAQRR

Certification in Washington is voluntary, and Nine Strong holds it regardless, through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences. Level 2 status means a published code of ethics, written fees and rules disclosed before move-in, and a complaint process that does not stop at the house's front door.

Olympia and Thurston County Recovery Housing

As the state capital, Olympia concentrates the courts, agencies and outpatient providers that Thurston County residents rely on, and Nine Strong sits inside that same footprint alongside the operator's other certified homes in Lacey and Tumwater.
