The Hive House

About The Hive House

The Hive House is a sober living operator based in Brainerd, Minnesota, running women's recovery residences across Crow Wing, Hubbard and Todd counties in north-central Minnesota.

A Women's Recovery Housing Network in the Lakes Region

The Hive House describes its houses as renovated, fully furnished, and built around a community-based recovery model with professional management. The organization operates under a name it adopted after growing beyond its original identity as The Lakes Recovery, a Brainerd-based women's sober house that opened as one of the first of its kind in Crow Wing County.

Recovery Housing Across Three Counties

The operator's reach now spans Crow Wing, Hubbard and Todd counties, a footprint that covers Brainerd, Park Rapids and Staples, three of the larger population centers in Minnesota's north-central lakes region. That spread lets the organization serve women across a rural area where recovery housing options have historically been scarce.

A Community-Based Model for Women in Recovery

The Hive House builds its program around peer community and professional oversight, aiming to give residents both independence and support as they rebuild their lives after treatment.

Certification Standards for Minnesota Sober Homes

Sober home certification in Minnesota is voluntary and administered by the Minnesota Association of Sober Homes. Residents and families evaluating a lakes-region sober living operator should ask directly for documentation on fees, house rules and how a relapse or discharge is handled.

Serving Minnesota's North-Central Lakes Region

Brainerd anchors Crow Wing County as its seat, and The Hive House's presence across three counties gives it a rare regional scale among Minnesota sober living operators, most of which serve a single city or metro area.
