The Miracle House Model provides a community based, supportive, and sober living environment.
What is an Miracle House?
In its simplest form, an Miracle House is a shared residence where people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction can live together and support each other in a drug and alcohol-free environment.
A Miracle House member can stay as long as they like, provided they stay drug and alcohol free, are not disruptive, and pay their share of house expenses.

Here's how to apply
1. Interview
- The houses you're interested in will invite you to interview.
- You'll get to talk to the house members to see if the house is a good fit for you.
- Tip: Show sincerity about recovery, emphasize regular attendance at meetings, and explain how you will be able to pay your share of expenses.
2. Acceptance
- If a house votes to accept you, you can tell them whether or not you accept the invitation to move in.
- Sometimes several individuals will apply to fill one vacancy.
- If you are not selected, you should try another house that has an opening. It is not unusual that an individual who gets rejected at one house applies at another house with an opening and gets accepted.
3. Move in
Congratulations!
- You will usually pay a nonrefundable fee, plus payment for your first two weeks, and you can move in.
- You can stay as long as you like, provided you don't use drugs and alcohol, are not disruptive, and pay your share of house expenses.
What makes it an miracle house?
Miracle Houses work
because they are:
Long-term living solutions
There’s no time limit on how long a member can live in an Miracle House. The average stay is about a year, but many members stay three, four, or more years. There is no pressure on anyone in good standing to leave.
100% Drug and alcohol free
Each house adheres to the absolute requirement that any member who returns to using alcohol or drugs must be immediately expelled.
