The Lion House is a sober living home for women in recovery from alcohol use and substance use disorders. The 16-bed home offers a variety of programs, including AA/NA meetings, group therapy sessions, and recreational activities, all within a historic building that has been preserved and restored for modern living.
The Lion House offers a supportive and transformative sober living experience for women in recovery, emphasizing the importance of a six-month to year-long stay. This environment bridges the gap between in-patient treatment and long-term sobriety, fostering a sense of community among residents. Whether through sharing meals, attending meetings, or enjoying quiet moments together, being apart of a recovery community can serve as a crucial tool for healing. The Lion House creates a space where residents can rebuild their lives, restoring confidence for both individuals and their families.
Situated in St. Paul, The Lion House provides access to extensive resources, including an expansive 12-step network, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), job opportunities, and engaging activities.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like The Lion House provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

The Lion House offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 3 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Group Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. The Lion House works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
