About Recovery House of St. Louis

Recovery House of St. Louis is a sober living operator based in St. Louis, Missouri, running a portfolio of men's and women's recovery homes across the city. The organization frames its work around structure, discipline and accountability.

A St. Louis Sober Living Operator Built on Structure

Recovery House of St. Louis describes its purpose as helping residents "achieve long-term freedom from drugs and alcohol" by building a supportive home environment for transitional living. The organization positions its houses for people stepping down from inpatient treatment or starting outpatient care, where the home itself becomes part of the recovery plan.

Serving Men and Women Across Nine St. Louis Sober Homes

Recovery House of St. Louis operates the following residences in this review:

• Michigan House, Wyoming House, Grand House, Virginia House - Recovery House of St. Louis, Klocke House, Gravois House and Humphrey House, all serving men in St. Louis.
• Sidney House and Humphrey House - Women, serving women in St. Louis.

Running seven men's houses alongside two women's houses gives the operator room to place residents by gender and by how much structure they need, all within one city and one point of contact.

An Application-Based Sober Living Provider

The organization runs its intake through a formal application for residency, and it publishes testimonials and answers to frequently asked questions for prospective residents and families evaluating the fit before applying. That process is the same regardless of which St. Louis house a resident is eventually placed at.

Recovery Housing for the City of St. Louis

As an independent city, St. Louis holds its own full complement of hospitals, courts, employers and transit routes, and a multi-house operator with residences spread through the city can place residents near the specific resources their recovery plan depends on, whether that is a treatment program, a job or a family connection.

One Operator, Multiple St. Louis Sober Living Homes

Because all nine houses run under one organization, a resident who needs to change houses, whether for a different level of structure or simply a different set of housemates, can raise that with staff who already know his or her history.

Who These St. Louis Sober Homes Serve

Recovery House of St. Louis suits men and women coming out of inpatient treatment, detox or a period of incarceration who are ready to live with structure and peer accountability while they re-establish work, meetings and daily routine in St. Louis.
