About Ozark Recovery Housing, LLC

Ozark Recovery Housing, LLC is a sober living operator in Kansas City, Missouri, running a tiered network of recovery homes across Jackson County for men and women at different stages of recovery.

A Kansas City Recovery Housing Network

Ozark Recovery Housing structures its houses by how far along a resident is. An entry-level respite house takes short stays for people early in sobriety, restoration houses ask for full-time work and regular meetings once a resident stabilizes, and step-up houses serve people furthest along in the program. The operator's full network spans five locations and roughly eighty-seven beds across the metro area.

Homes in the Ozark Recovery Housing Network

The network in Kansas City includes:

• Ozark R&R House, coed, the entry-level recovery and respite house.
• Bales House, for men, an eighteen-bed restoration house.
• Baltimore House, for women, an eighteen-bed step-up house in Hyde Park.
• Walnut House, for women.

Men and women are housed separately once they move past the entry-level respite stage, and a resident's house changes as their stage in the program changes.

Full-Time Work as a Program Requirement

Beyond the entry-level respite stage, Ozark Recovery Housing expects residents to pursue full-time employment and attend three recovery meetings a week. That requirement runs across the operator's restoration and step-up houses alike, and it is the structure the network is built to enforce as residents move further from their entry date.

Care Coordination From Intake

Residents entering through Ozark R&R House receive care coordination and recovery coaching from the first day, before they are placed into a longer-term house. That early coordination is what routes a resident toward the men's or women's house that fits once the initial thirty-day threshold is behind them.

Kansas City and Jackson County

Kansas City is the largest city in Jackson County, though Independence holds the county seat, and the metro's size gives Ozark Recovery Housing access to a broad employer base and outpatient treatment network for a resident moving through the network's tiers.

Moving Through the Ozark Recovery Housing Network

Applications go through the operator directly, which places a new resident based on gender, sobriety length and stage in recovery. A resident who stabilizes at the respite stage can move into a restoration house, and from there into a step-up house, without leaving the network.
