A Guide to the New Sober House Directory

The Ultimate Guide to the National Sober Living Directory for Recovery Residences

Finding the right sober living home is one of the most important decisions someone in recovery can make — and now, it’s easier than ever. The Sober House Directory is a free, nationwide tool helping individuals, families, and providers locate certified and reputable recovery residences across the United States.

Launched in early 2020, the Sober House Directory has grown rapidly, offering one of the most comprehensive collections of sober living listings anywhere online. At Vanderburgh Sober Living, we’re proud to support their mission and excited to share how this resource can help you or someone you care about on the path to recovery.
