At Monarch Homes, we offer a unique shared room model compared to other SLEs limiting the number of residents in each home with most bedrooms designed as 2-person rooms on top of that, many homes also provide private rooms. By limiting the number of residents in each home, we provide approximately 40% more living space compared to other comparable Sober Living Environment (SLE) houses. This approach ensures residents enjoy increased privacy and a greater sense of personal space. Unlike other sober homes that maximize twin beds in bedrooms with 3, 4, or even 5 people, our focus on fewer residents per house significantly enhances the quality of living, promoting longer stays and increasing long-term success in recovery.

All Sacramento Monarch Homes are located under 1 mile from public transportation lines, if not closer. San Francisco Monarch Homes are walking distance (under 5 minutes) to SFMTA public transportation.

Yes, all Monarch Homes are conveniently located within 1-2 miles of shopping areas, ensuring easy access to grocery and other retail stores via public transportation, walking, or ride services. In San Francisco, our Monarch Homes are situated within walking distance of grocery stores, restaurants, theaters, and shops, providing residents with convenient access to daily necessities and amenities

Residents are asked to bring only their personal belongings/clothing, personal hygiene products, and food. All other needs and amenities: cleaning supplies, bedding, linens, kitchenware, and laundry, etc. are taken care of by Monarch management. Please be advised, no personal storage for large items, no furniture, blankets or bedding (unless new, out of package) will be allowed to enter the home. If you have further questions, please ask.

Residents at Monarch Homes sign a month-to-month service agreement, but it is recommended that they stay for a minimum of 90 days. Residents are encouraged to stay longer if they are making progress in their recovery, demonstrating a willingness to support new residents, and engaging in the community. Research consistently shows that individuals who continue their after-care programs and remain in an active sober living community after treatment have significantly higher chances of successful long-term recovery.

Incoming residents must have a minimum of 72 hours of sobriety and the ability to pass a drug and alcohol screening. Monarch Homes does not function as a detox facility. Prospective residents undergo an interview process and often tour the home with a house manager. In certain cases, individuals may require additional support and care, and may need to be enrolled in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or actively working with a therapist or mental health professional before being considered for residency. If you have any further inquiries, our staff is available to provide assistance in determining the appropriate level of care, placement in a home, or identifying other resources needed for a successful transition.
