Arkansas Recovery Community

About Arkansas Recovery Community

Arkansas Recovery Community is a sober living operator in Little Rock, Arkansas, running certified recovery housing in Pulaski County.

A Little Rock Recovery Housing Provider

Arkansas Recovery Community houses men in early recovery at addresses in Little Rock; it does not run a clinical program itself. Residents keep their own outpatient providers, sponsors and meetings, and the operator's job is to keep the housing, the fees and the house rules consistent from one address to the next.

Two Sober Homes Under One Operator

The Arkansas Alliance of Recovery Residences lists Arkansas Recovery Community as running two sober living homes in Little Rock with a combined capacity of forty beds. One sits on West 19th Street. The registry does both operate under the same certification and the same set of expectations, so a resident moving between them is not starting over with an unfamiliar operator.

AARR Level II Certification

Arkansas does not license recovery residences, which makes certification through the Arkansas Alliance of Recovery Residences the main outside check on an operator in this state. AARR lists Arkansas Recovery Community at Level II, the standing every currently certified program in Arkansas carries. That means a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and a complaint process that runs outside the house.

Serving Men in Recovery

Both Arkansas Recovery Community houses serve men exclusively. Keeping the population single-gender across the whole operation means house rules, meetings and shared space are written for one group of residents, and staffing and structure do not have to flex between two very different households.

Recovery Housing in the Little Rock Metro Area

Little Rock is the state capital and the seat of Pulaski County, and together with North Little Rock it holds most of the recovery housing in Arkansas. Outpatient treatment, the Pulaski County courts and a large base of entry-level employers all sit inside the metro area, which is why operators running multiple sober homes tend to cluster here instead of spreading across smaller towns.

Reaching Arkansas Recovery Community

Applications go through the operator, not a single house. Questions worth asking at this level include how long Arkansas Recovery Community has operated in Little Rock, whether it takes referrals from treatment providers, and how a complaint moves from the house to the operator and then to AARR.
