The Friend Agency

About The Friend Agency

The Friend Agency is a sober living operator in Dayton, Ohio, running four certified recovery residences across Montgomery County. Every house it operates holds current certification from Ohio Recovery Housing at the Managed level.

A Montgomery County Recovery Housing Provider

The Friend Agency is a housing provider, not a treatment program. Its houses supply structure, a stable address and peer accountability, while residents keep their own outpatient counselors, prescribers and medical appointments elsewhere in Dayton. What the operator controls is consistent: the same fee structure, the same disclosed rules and the same relapse policy from one house to the next.

Four Sober Homes in Dayton

The Friend Agency, Beechwood House, Siebenthaler House and Shaftesbury House make up the operator's Dayton roster. Three house men and one, Siebenthaler House, houses women only. Shaftesbury House is the operator's one wheelchair-accessible residence.

Men's and Women's Sober Living Kept Separate

Each house is single-gender. Bathrooms, common areas and house meetings are organized around one population per address.

Managed-Level Certification Across These Ohio Recovery Residences

All four houses are certified by Ohio Recovery Housing at the Managed level: peer-managed housing with staff oversight, while clinical care comes from providers outside the house. Certification is granted per residence.

Applying Through This Dayton Sober Living Operator

Street addresses are not published for Ohio recovery residences, and applications are handled by The Friend Agency directly. A single application can be weighed against four houses, and a resident who needs to change houses is dealing with an operator who already knows the case.
