About Foster Living Homes

Foster Living Homes is a sober living operator in Warren, Ohio, running certified recovery housing in Trumbull County. It is owned and operated by John Dailey, who spent twelve months in a recovery house himself and credits it with saving his life.

Certified Men's Recovery Homes in Warren

The Ohio Recovery Housing certified register lists Foster Living residences across the 44483, 44484 and 44485 ZIP codes in Warren, all men's, all certified at the Managed level, and all recorded as MAT supported. Managed is the middle of Ohio's three certification levels, above Peer-Run and below Supervised, and it describes housing with staff oversight and defined structure. Certification is granted address by address, so an operator carrying it on every property has chosen to work inside a published code of ethics and an outside complaint process at each one.

What These Warren Sober Homes Cost and Include

Rent is $500 a month across the portfolio, covering all utilities, cable and streaming, WiFi, on-site laundry and parking for one vehicle. Every bed is a single bed. The operator describes the properties as private residential homes with the amenities of an ordinary family home, including a family-size kitchen and dining room and an outdoor grill. Predictable, all-inclusive rent matters more than it sounds. A resident on a thirty-day employment clock cannot budget around a variable utility bill.

A Twelve Step Recovery Housing Provider

The recovery model is twelve-step based. Residents are encouraged to attend meetings, work with a sponsor and follow through on treatment requirements. Peer support is provided on site and the operator refers residents to outpatient mental health and substance use providers in the area. Employment and volunteering are pushed. Dailey names unity, service, acceptance, humility and gratitude as the operating values, which is twelve-step vocabulary applied to how the houses are run.

Owner Operated Sober Living in the Mahoning Valley

Dailey lives in the area and runs the houses himself. The effect on a resident is direct. Admissions, rent and discharge decisions are made locally by a person who is reachable, and the operator's standing rests on one set of neighbors, one county and one certifying body. A small owner-operator also publishes less and markets less. That is the trade a resident accepts in exchange for dealing with the person in charge.

Serving Warren, Niles and Trumbull County

The footprint is the Warren and Niles corridor at the north end of the Mahoning Valley. Warren is the county seat and holds the courthouse, the common pleas drug court, county job and family services and most of the area's outpatient providers. Youngstown's larger treatment system sits to the south. The valley took heavy losses in the opioid epidemic and has built out peer support and treatment capacity in response, so a resident here is close to both.

Reaching This Warren Sober Living Operator

Applications go through the operator's website. Operator-level questions: which addresses have openings, how residents are assigned between houses, what a transfer involves, whether the operator takes referrals from the drug court and local treatment providers, how the deposit is documented and returned, and what the discharge process looks like after a relapse. Certification obliges written answers on fees and rules before anyone signs.
