The Salvation Army

About The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army operates recovery housing in two Montana communities, Havre and Helena, as part of its long-running social service work across the state.

A National Social Service Provider With Montana Housing

The Salvation Army has worked in Montana communities for more than a century, running shelters, case management and community programs alongside the recovery residences it operates in the state.

Serving Havre and Helena

The Salvation Army's Montana recovery housing includes a residence in Havre, on the state's Hi-Line, and Ground Zero, a men's sober living program in Helena built to grow toward twelve residents. The two communities sit at opposite ends of the state's service geography, and both give The Salvation Army a foothold in a region otherwise short on structured recovery housing.

Certification and Montana's Registry Requirement

The Salvation Army's Montana recovery residences are registered with the Department of Public Health and Human Services under the state's 2023 mandatory recovery residence law. Registration applies whether or not a given residence also holds voluntary certification through the state's NARR or NSLA affiliates.

A Long-Standing Community Presence

Because The Salvation Army already runs shelters and social services in both Havre and Helena, its recovery housing draws on staff, facilities and community relationships that predate the housing itself. That existing presence is often the practical reason a court or treatment provider refers someone to a Salvation Army residence.

Reaching The Salvation Army in Montana

Contact goes through the local corps in Havre or Helena directly. Worth asking: current availability, whether the specific residence works with a local drug or treatment court, and what is expected of a resident day to day.
