The Lodge at Delray Beach

About The Lodge at Delray Beach

The Lodge at Delray Beach is a sober living operator running a men's recovery program in Delray Beach, Florida, since 2008.

A Family-Run Delray Beach Sober Living Operator

The Lodge at Delray Beach has operated in the city since 2008 under Jim Tichy, and the organization runs its housing exclusively for men. The operator built its own LODGE360 advocacy framework around three tiers of care, from close daily structure down to lighter oversight.

Multiple Named Men's Houses in Delray Beach

The operator's own site names several individual residences under the Lodge banner, including Wits End, Smyth House and Dorset House, all housing men in Delray Beach. Running several named houses under one program lets a resident move between them as needs change without leaving the operator or the city.

A Defined Program: Chart Your Own Course

Residents work through a twelve-week track the operator calls Chart Your Own Course, which gives the stay a defined endpoint, paired with monthly family group meetings held by video call on the last Saturday of each month. That structure gives families a predictable way to track progress from outside Florida.

Staff Credentials Beyond Residence Certification

At least one staff member holds the Certified Recovery Residence Administrator credential issued by the Florida Certification Board, a personal qualification for people who run recovery housing in the state. That credential belongs to the person holding it, separate from any certification a specific residence might carry.

Voluntary Certification for Florida Recovery Housing

Florida credentials recovery residences through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, the only Department of Children and Families-approved entity for this purpose, under a program that is voluntary.

Serving Delray Beach and Palm Beach County

Delray Beach sits at the center of one of the country's densest recovery communities, inside a Palm Beach County corridor that runs from Boca Raton in the south to West Palm Beach, the county seat, in the north. That density of outpatient care and 12-step meetings is a large part of why men travel to Delray Beach specifically for a program like this one.
