Sobriety House

About Sobriety House

Sobriety House is a sober living operator and licensed treatment provider in Detroit, Michigan, running certified men's recovery housing in Wayne County. Founded in 1964, it is accredited by CARF and its housing is certified at Level 3 by the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences.

A Detroit Sober Living Operator Since 1964

The organization has worked from West Grand Boulevard on Detroit's west side since 1964, a founding date almost no recovery housing provider in the country can match. Six decades in one city, through every change in funding, drug supply and population the period contains, is the plainest evidence available that an organization is durable. For a family evaluating a provider from another state, tenure is the cheapest thing to verify and among the most informative.

A Licensed and Accredited Recovery Housing Provider

Three credentials stack, and each does separate work. The facility holds a state license to operate as a treatment provider. It is accredited by CARF, an international body that reviews clinical and administrative practice on a renewal cycle at the organization's own expense. Its housing is certified at Level 3, which describes supervised housing with paid staff, written admission and discharge policy and structured programming. Michigan requires none of the three of a recovery residence, so all three represent decisions the organization made without being told to.

Treatment and Sober Living From One Organization

The treatment work is aimed at relapse prevention and long-term recovery, framed around restoring self-worth and building a sober life. Housing and treatment inside one organization means a man does not hold a bed in one place and a program in another, and staff who see him in group also see him at home. The organization states that all adult males are welcome, and it accepts walk-ins around the clock, which is unusual and matters at two in the morning.

Where This Wayne County Recovery Housing Provider Works

West Grand Boulevard curves past the neighborhoods around Corktown, Henry Ford Hospital and the old Motown house, inside the bus network that makes Detroit navigable without a car. Detroit is the county seat, and Wayne County holds the largest concentration of certified recovery housing in Michigan and the public behavioral health authority that funds much of it. An operator with one long-held address in that network gives a resident a stable place inside the systems he already has to deal with.

Reaching Sobriety House in Detroit, Michigan

Contact goes to the organization directly. Published rates for its certified housing are $28 per day or $840 per month, and the questions worth asking at the operator level concern the company: which basis applies to a given resident, what happens to a stay if a payment is late, whether treatment and housing must be taken together, what the discharge policy says, and how a complaint reaches past the house to the certifying body. A licensed, accredited and certified provider has each documented.
