About Nikki's House

Nikki's House is a sober living operator in Niles, Ohio, providing certified women's recovery housing in Trumbull County. It is a nonprofit, it holds no religious affiliation, and it welcomes residents of all spiritual backgrounds.

A Women's Recovery Housing Provider in Trumbull County

The organization houses women, including women with children, and states its position plainly: people struggling with addiction are people in need of healing. Its work is described as helping residents build life skills alongside sobriety and reach long-term recovery. Accepting mothers is the operational decision that distinguishes it. Most Ohio recovery housing does not, and a woman forced to choose between her housing and her children generally loses both.

Certified Under Ohio Recovery Housing

The organization's housing is certified by Ohio Recovery Housing at the Managed level, the middle of Ohio's three tiers, which describes staffed oversight and defined structure. Since January 2026 the state's public recovery housing registry and the certified list have been the same record. The register also names veterans, residents with co-occurring mental health and substance use diagnoses, and residents on medication-assisted treatment among the populations served.

Serving Niles, Warren and the Mahoning Valley

The footprint is Trumbull County, centered on the Niles and Warren corridor. Warren is the county seat, holding the courthouse, the drug court, county job and family services and most of the county's outpatient providers. Niles sits between Warren and Youngstown on Route 422, with its own retail and healthcare employment along the Route 46 corridor. The valley is compact enough that a resident can reach a job, a meeting, a provider and a court date in the same day.

Specialized Populations in These Sober Homes

Veterans, dual diagnosis and medication-assisted treatment are each a common reason a woman is turned away from recovery housing. An operator that names all three on the state register has settled those questions in advance. For a referring caseworker, that is the difference between placing someone and making eleven phone calls.

Reaching This Niles Sober Living Operator

Inquiries go directly to the organization. Questions that belong at the operator level: how long it has run recovery housing in Trumbull County, what the policy is on children living on site and at what ages, whether it takes referrals from the county's mental health and recovery board and from local treatment providers, how rent and deposits are documented and refunded, and how a complaint escalates past on-site staff. Certification requires fees and rules in writing before anyone signs.
