Men's Sober House
The 180 House Sober Living
The 180 House, sober house, consists of a group of Christian sober living residences offering a safe environment for men completing treatment programs or just desiring a sober free environment. We provide simple apartment-style living with private or shared rooms at an affordable rate. All residents are required to adhere to house rules and attend one weekly house meeting (We are not a program).
The beginning weeks of sobriety often prove to be the most difficult, but The 180 House exists to provide a transition for residents to adjust to sobriety and the responsibilities of everyday life. This type of living arrangement provides a balance between the strict environment of a residential treatment center and independent living.
The 180 House maintains that true successful sober living can be found in developing a relationship with God, becoming accountable to others, and embracing the hope that only God can give. Our weekly meetings provide spiritual encouragement and an opportunity to learn to resolve conflict Biblically. All residents are welcome to attend daily Biblical discipleship classes at The 180 Center if they choose to do so. Our goal is to partner with God and see lives turn around.
