Washed Clean Ministries

About Washed Clean Ministries

Washed Clean Ministries is a sober living operator in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, running faith-centered recovery housing for men and women across Minnehaha County. The organization was established in 2017 and has grown into one of the larger recovery housing providers in the eastern half of the state, listed among the Division of Behavioral Health's participating providers.

The Sober Homes This Operator Runs

Washed Clean operates two recovery residences, both in Sioux Falls:

• Washed Clean Ministry Center, 2701 East 15th Street, Sioux Falls. Men's housing with room for 26 residents, sharing a site with the ministry's church and program space.
• Washed Clean Women's Home, South Minnesota Avenue, Sioux Falls. A duplex serving 8 women.

What a Christ-Centered Recovery Housing Provider Does Differently

The program runs in four phases and is built to be completed in as little as twelve months. Bible study, recovery meetings and one-on-one sponsorship sit at the center of it, and the ministry is explicit that spiritual transformation is the mechanism it believes in. That will fit some people and not others, which is worth knowing before an application goes in.

Men's and Women's Sober Houses Under One Organization

Keeping separate men's and women's addresses matters more in a state this size than it might elsewhere. Someone leaving treatment in a rural county often has no gender-appropriate option within a hundred miles of home. Running both means the referral does not have to fail on that basis alone.

Employment and Fees at This South Dakota Sober Living Operator

Employed residents pay 175 dollars per week, which covers programming and transportation. Scholarships are available for those who are not working. Transportation being folded into the fee is a real thing in Sioux Falls, where the bus network reaches the east side but not on every schedule a shift worker needs.

Serving Sioux Falls and the Surrounding Counties

Washed Clean's stated service area covers Minnehaha and Lincoln Counties. Sioux Falls is the county seat of Minnehaha and the largest city in South Dakota, which makes it the practical destination for outpatient care, probation reporting, court appearances and hiring across the southeastern corner of the state.

Certification Status for Recovery Homes in South Dakota

South Dakota has no NARR affiliate and no licensure scheme for recovery residences, so no home in the state carries certification. What Washed Clean does carry is a place on the state Division of Behavioral Health's list of participating recovery housing providers, which is the closest thing to a public credential available here.
