Overview
Crosswinds Recovery is a non-profit organization in Missoula, Montana, providing a real-world path to sobriety through structured recovery housing and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Residents live in supportive, gender-specific homes with 10-12 beds each, fostering a community where they share responsibilities and support one another. The approach centers on therapy-based counseling rather than a strict 12-step model, welcoming individuals with co-occurring disorders. By accepting Medicaid and working with clients on payment, Crosswinds removes financial barriers to make quality care accessible. This combination of accountable sober living and professional outpatient services, located at a separate office, equips adults with the tools for successful, long-term reintegration into the community.

Daily Life, Rules & Family
How long will I be there?
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) has a set duration of 90 days. The stay in the sober living homes is flexible and can last as long as a resident needs to build a solid foundation for their recovery.
What is the living situation like? Can I get my own room?
The living situation is communal, in regular houses within Missoula neighborhoods. All rooms are shared, meaning you will have a roommate. Private rooms are not available.
Is this a closed/locked facility?
No, it is an open campus. Residents are not locked in and are expected to manage their time, go to work or school, and participate in the community, while adhering to house rules and curfews.
Can I use my phone/laptop? Is smoking allowed?
Yes to both. Smoking and vaping are permitted in designated outdoor areas. Residents are allowed to have and use their personal electronics like cell phones and laptops.

Who will be in treatment with me?
You will be with other adults (18+) in recovery. The sober living homes are gender-specific, but the IOP is co-ed. Because they accept Medicaid and are a non-profit, the client population is diverse and includes many who rely on state-funded care.

Family involvement is flexible. Residents can see family members who are in town, provided they are back by curfew. As residents progress in the program, they can earn overnight passes to visit family.
