About this Sober House
VOA Northern Rockies Women's Recovery Home is a women's sober living home in Sheridan, Wyoming, in Sheridan County, and it is one of very few women-only recovery residences anywhere in the state. The house has five bedrooms. Its street address is not published, and placement is arranged through the operator's admissions department.
What a Woman Finds in This Recovery Home
The house is drug- and alcohol-free and deliberately homelike. It runs around the clock, every day of the year, with a clinician on call at any hour. Residents have a washer and dryer in the house, and linens and housewares are supplied, which removes a set of small startup costs that can quietly sink a first month.
The Level of Support This Sober House Provides
This is minimal-support housing by design. Residents are self-sustaining women who have already done heavier clinical work and need structure rather than supervision. Programming is built around employment, education, health, recreation, family and social relationships, and living skills, so the day belongs to the resident and the house holds the frame around it.
Entry Requirements for This Recovery Residence
Eligibility calls for an assessment at ASAM level 2.1 or 3.1 from a treatment provider in Wyoming, completion of a residential program or current outpatient care, and either an outpatient referral in the community or four hours of group plus one individual session weekly with a clinician from the operator. Residents must be working full-time or studying full-time. The application packet includes a personal letter, an assessment from the last thirty days, a physical with a negative TB test and a referral letter.
What This Recovery Housing Costs
Rent is $400 per month, covering the room, utilities, case management and professional counseling. Food and personal care items are the resident's own. The Wyoming Department of Health, Behavioral Health Division funds the program.
Northeast Wyoming Recovery Housing and Why Women Have Fewer Options
Women's beds are scarcer than men's almost everywhere, and in a state of under six hundred thousand people that scarcity becomes absolute. Priority here goes to women from northeast Wyoming or referred by an outpatient provider in that region. Sheridan is the county seat and the operator's headquarters, so a woman stepping down from residential care can move here and keep the same clinician, the same meetings and the same job.
