About this Sober House
VOA Northern Rockies Men's Recovery Home is a men's sober living home in Sheridan, Wyoming, operating in Sheridan County. It is a five-bedroom house for men aged eighteen and older who are self-sustaining and need a light level of support to hold onto recovery from alcohol, drug or gambling dependence. The street address is not published, and placement runs through the operator's admissions department.
How This Men's Sober House Runs
The house operates twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, with an on-call clinician available around the clock. Programming is designed to maximize opportunities for employment, education, health, recreation, family and social relationships, and general living skills. There is a washer and dryer in the house for residents to use, and linens and housewares are provided.
What This Recovery Home Costs
Rent is $400 per month. That covers the room, utilities, case management and professional counseling. Residents buy their own food and personal care items. Funding comes through the Wyoming Department of Health, Behavioral Health Division, which is why the price sits well below what a bed like this costs in most states.
Who Qualifies for This Recovery Housing
Residents must have an assessment placing them at ASAM level 2.1 or 3.1 from a treatment provider in the state. They must have completed residential treatment or be receiving outpatient services, and must either be referred to a community outpatient provider or attend four hours of group and one individual session weekly with a clinician from the operator. Everyone here is employed full-time or enrolled as a full-time student.
Applying to This Sober Living Home
The application asks for a letter from the prospective resident, an alcohol and drug assessment completed within the last thirty days, a physical with a negative TB test, and a referral letter from the current treatment provider explaining progress and justifying this level of care. Referrals go to the admissions department.
Sheridan County Geography and Priority Access
Priority goes to residents coming from within the northeast region of Wyoming, or referred by an outpatient provider there. That is a deliberate choice about who this house is for. Sheridan is the county seat and sits on Interstate 90 near the Montana line, so a man from Buffalo, Gillette or Ranchester can reach work and appointments here without relocating to the other end of the state.
Certification and This Wyoming Sober House
Wyoming has no certification program for recovery residences and no NARR affiliate. This house is operated by a certified operator with CARF accreditation, and the state health department funds it, which brings its own reporting requirements. Ask admissions about house rules and expectations directly.
