Moraine House Recovery Housing

About Moraine House Recovery Housing

Moraine House Recovery Housing is a sober living operator in Valparaiso, Indiana, running a single certified halfway house in Porter County that has operated continuously since 1976.

A Nearly Fifty-Year Operating History in Porter County

Moraine House Recovery Housing has run its Valparaiso halfway house since 1976, which puts it among the longest continuously operating recovery residences in Northwest Indiana. That history means the organization has outlasted multiple generations of treatment centers in the region it draws from, and its FAQ, application process and fee schedule are all published directly instead of handled informally.

A 180-Day Program for Men

The organization runs its house on a structured 180-day model built around family-style living, longer than the stay most sober living programs expect. Residents are required to work toward self-sufficiency and cooperate with house expectations for the full term, which the operator treats as the foundation of the program, not an add-on rule.

Drawing From a Regional Treatment Pipeline

Well over ninety percent of residents come from treatment centers in Lake, Porter and LaPorte counties or Cook County, Illinois, which makes Moraine House Recovery Housing a genuinely regional operator despite running a single address.

Reaching Moraine House Recovery Housing in Valparaiso

The organization publishes its own FAQ covering fee schedule, detox policy, employment expectations, length of stay and waiting list status, and applications go directly through the operator instead of a third party. Valparaiso is the seat of Porter County, and Moraine House Recovery Housing's downtown location within walking distance of public transportation is part of how the operator keeps the program accessible without a car.

Indiana's Recovery Residence Designation Framework

Indiana only requires DMHA designation if an operator takes Recovery Works funding or markets its housing using the words "recovery residence," so Moraine House Recovery Housing's operating history and its standing under the Indiana Affiliation of Recovery Residences are two separate questions worth asking about directly.
