About Refuge Inc.

Refuge Inc. is a sober living operator in Columbus, Ohio, running seven certified recovery residences across Franklin County.

A Multi-House Sober Living Operator in Columbus

The operator runs seven certified residences in Columbus, all serving men, certified at both the Managed and Supervised levels depending on the house. One organization applies its fee structure and rules across every residence it runs.

Recovery Housing Certified by Ohio Recovery Housing

Every one of the seven residences carries certification from Ohio Recovery Housing, the state's NARR affiliate merged with the state registry since the start of 2026. Certification requires a published code of ethics, written disclosure before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and outside accountability for complaints, applied house by house.

Sober Homes Across Columbus and Franklin County

Columbus is Ohio's capital and the seat of Franklin County, home to Ohio State University's medical system, Nationwide Children's Hospital and the COTA transit network. Running seven houses inside one city keeps every resident within reach of the same courts, medical providers and transit.

Managed and Supervised Housing Under One Sober Living Operator

The operator maintains houses at two certification levels, so the specific house a resident applies to determines how much on-site staff presence to expect.

Applying Through This Sober Living Operator

Street addresses are not published for any of the seven houses, and applications go through the operator directly. One application is considered against several houses at two different levels of structure.
