Program Structure

Recovery Road Homes offers a singular, focused level of care: structured sober living. This is not a clinical treatment program but a supportive, peer-driven environment designed for individuals who are serious about their recovery. The entire program is built around accountability, community, and the practical application of 12-step principles in daily life.

Structured Sober Living

Accountability and Peer Support

Residents live in gender-specific houses and are expected to follow a clear set of rules and expectations designed to foster personal growth and responsibility. This includes maintaining sobriety, attending a minimum number of 12-step meetings per week, working with a sponsor, being employed or actively seeking work, and contributing to the household through chores and a weekly house fund. This structure provides a crucial safety net while allowing residents the freedom to rebuild their lives.
