Welcome House
About Welcome House
Welcome House is a sober living environment that offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) to a limited number of residents. Welcome House serves adult men, and requires you to be detoxed before entering the facilities. Many of their residents are there for court ordered recovery services, as an alternative option to incarceration. They’re based in Kansas City, Missouri, not far from Troost Lake Park, and have capacity for 48 men.
Welcome House started out as a group of men in recovery deciding to help others through the difficult journey they’d been through. They sought out men in need around the town and held Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in rundown hotel rooms around the city. About a year later, they bought property and Welcome House was born.
Although they began as primarily a 12 Step program, they’ve since grown to include recovery coaching and workshops as part of their offerings. They also began offering MAT services in 2019 to help men manage intense cravings while in recovery from opioid dependency.
If you need support for mental health or dual diagnosis concerns, they have an extensive referral system. When entering their care, you can go through clinical assessments and screening processes to identify if you require additional care.
It’s worth noting that Welcome House provides a lot of structure and firm boundaries for their residents. They have strict rules of residency, including mandatory attendance of AA/NA meetings, room searches, curfews, phone usage, and maintaining or actively searching for employment. If you respond well to rigorous structure and want to be held accountable through recovery, they could be a great fit for you.
