A Sober Living Program with Purpose

Rather than a treatment facility, this is a structured sober living community built for men serious about rebuilding their lives. Residents are required to have at least 30 days of sobriety to participate. The program is housed in a city-based facility with single and shared rooms, shared bathrooms, and access to full kitchens and lounges in each wing. With no rent due the first two months and only a modest weekly fee thereafter, LifeHouse is accessible for those starting over and designed to keep them moving forward.

Skills for Independence After Treatment

This is a program designed to help men stay sober while navigating work, finances, and personal responsibilities. Residents train for real-world tools with GED classes, vocational certifications in trades like forklift operation and welding, and connections to job fairs with major employers. These opportunities equip men to not just survive, but to thrive after leaving the program.

Case Management That Stays Personal

Every resident is paired with a case manager who helps outline a clear recovery plan rooted in the person’s own goals. That might mean getting a driver’s license, signing up for college courses, or tackling unresolved mental health issues. Many case managers are program alumni themselves, which adds relatability and accountability. This kind of guidance makes a difference because it’s not just about support, but about helping someone take real, practical steps toward a stable life.

What Residents Say

Many describe their stay as life-changing, citing significant personal growth, emotional healing, and renewed purpose. A few reviews offer constructive feedback regarding staff qualifications, but overall sentiment is deeply positive. Residents appreciate the structured, empowering environment that fosters accountability, community, and long-term recovery success.
