Bright Hearts & Souls

About Bright Hearts & Souls

Bright Hearts & Souls is a Washington sober living operator running certified men's recovery housing in Lakewood and Chehalis. The organization describes its mission as providing safe, substance-free housing paired with structure, accountability and life skills for men building a sober routine.

A Washington Sober Living Operator for Men

Bright Hearts & Souls runs its housing as single-gender men's homes, with admission requiring at least sixty days of sobriety or completion of treatment, a clean urinalysis at move-in, and participation in house chores and rules. Residents on medication-assisted treatment are accepted as long as they can self-administer, and the operator does not accept registered sex offenders.

Recovery Homes in Lakewood and Chehalis

The organization operates three Washington properties: Bright House Lakewood in Pierce County, and Bright House and its Bright Hearts & Souls house on SW Pacific Avenue, both in Chehalis in Lewis County. All three are certified at Level 2 through WAQRR, the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences.

WAQRR Level 2 Certification Across the Portfolio

Level 2 certification under WAQRR commits Bright Hearts & Souls to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and house rules before move-in, and an outside complaint process at each of its Washington homes. The operator does not publish a street address for the Lakewood or Chehalis houses beyond the Pacific Avenue address, which is common among WAQRR-listed houses in the state.

Furnished Rooms and Daily Support Services

Bright Hearts & Souls provides furnished rooms, utilities, breakfast and lunch, Wi-Fi and laundry access at its houses, along with staff coaching, counseling referrals and life skills training in budgeting and resume writing. Narcan is kept on site, and residents use a tech-assisted program to track recovery goals.

Reaching Bright Hearts & Souls

Applications for any of the three Washington houses go through Bright Hearts & Souls directly, and the operator's screening for sobriety length, urinalysis and house rules applies the same way at every location.
