About Living Sober Whitefish

Living Sober Whitefish is a sober living operator in Whitefish, Montana, providing certified recovery housing for young men in Flathead County.

A Locally Led Whitefish Recovery Housing Provider

Michael Curran leads Living Sober Whitefish as its operator, drawing on his own recovery, which began in 2014, to shape the program's approach. The company launched in 2026 after its founders saw too many people finish treatment and return to the same environments that had pulled them down in the first place, and built a program meant to function as an ongoing living situation instead of a short clinical stay.

What Recovery Residence Certification Establishes

Living Sober Whitefish's housing is certified as a recovery residence under Montana's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, Recovery Access Montana. Certification commits the operator to disclosed fees and rules, a published code of ethics, and a complaint process a resident can pursue outside the house.

A Partnership With Trailhead Recovery Center

The operator works directly with Trailhead Counseling & Recovery Center, a locally owned outpatient practice offering counseling, EMDR and structured programs for people in recovery. That partnership means residents get one coordinated team, housing and outpatient clinical care, both based in Whitefish, instead of managing two providers that do not talk to each other.

Built Around the Outdoors

Living Sober Whitefish organizes its calendar around stewardship, adventure and fellowship, three principles the operator applies literally: group hikes, biking, lake days and ski season all show up as regular programming instead of occasional extras. The approach targets young men specifically, on the theory that an outdoor-driven daily structure gives this population something to build a sober identity around beyond a treatment schedule.

Serving Whitefish and the Flathead Valley

Whitefish sits in Flathead County, with Kalispell as the county seat and the valley's larger service base a short drive away. Living Sober Whitefish works within that geography, drawing residents from across northwest Montana and beyond who are specifically looking for a mountain town setting to build early recovery around.
