About Family & Children's Services, Inc.

Family & Children's Services, Inc. is a sober living operator in Tulsa, Oklahoma, providing certified recovery housing for women in Tulsa County. It is a behavioral health nonprofit marking a century of service in the city, and recovery housing sits alongside a much larger set of clinical and social programs.

A Treatment Provider That Runs Recovery Housing

The usual division in this field puts housing with one organization and treatment with another. Here they are the same organization. Family & Children's Services delivers adult and family counseling, outpatient mental health care, substance use treatment, crisis services, maternal mental health care, a pharmacy, employment and education services and youth programs across Tulsa. Housing is one piece of that. A resident's therapist, her prescriber and her housing provider can all be reached through the same agency, and referrals move internally.

Women's Recovery Housing in Tulsa

Two women's recovery residences in Tulsa are recorded under this operator:

• The certified residence listed on the state roster under the agency's own name, with forty-eight beds.
• Women in Recovery, the agency's intensive alternative-to-incarceration program, also with forty-eight beds.

Both serve women, both sit in Tulsa, and both operate at a scale unusual for recovery housing in this state. The agency does not publish street addresses for either, and placement runs through its intake.

Certification and What It Covers at This Recovery Housing Provider

The agency's certified residence appears on the Oklahoma Alliance for Recovery Resources roster at Level 3, the supervised tier Oklahoma uses. That certification is granted residence by residence, so an applicant should confirm the specific program she is entering. The agency separately holds status as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic, which governs its clinical services. Those two credentials are distinct, and the OKARR one is the one that speaks to how the housing itself is run.

Working With the Courts on Women's Sober Living

Through Women in Recovery and its Women's Justice Team, the agency works directly with the criminal justice system on placements for women facing prison sentences. That relationship shapes how referrals arrive. A meaningful share of the residents come through attorneys, courts and case managers instead of through a phone call from a family member, and the program is built to answer to both.

A Hundred Years of Service Behind This Tulsa Sober Living Operator

Institutional age is a real signal in recovery housing, where operators come and go quickly. This agency has been in Tulsa for a century, has a board and an executive leadership team on record, publishes a client rights statement and a notice of privacy practices, and runs an ethics and compliance hotline. A resident with a complaint has a documented path that does not depend on the goodwill of one person.

Who This Tulsa Recovery Housing Is For

The programs suit women who need supervised recovery housing with treatment attached, and especially women whose recovery is entangled with a criminal case, with employment they have never had, or with regaining custody of children. Anyone looking for a low-cost peer-run house with light structure is looking at the wrong operator. The trade here is intensity in exchange for services that a standalone sober home cannot provide.
