AfterHouse is a sober living environment. All residents must be committed to maintaining sobriety. Random drug and alcohol testing is part of the house program. Residents who relapse receive support and a clear path back to compliance, but continued use is not permitted on the premises.
There's no maximum stay. Most residents are with us for 3-12 months, but you can stay as long as you need. Our goal is to help you build the stability to transition to independent living when you're ready, not to push you out on a timeline.
No — AfterHouse is a self-pay program. Residents cover $550/month directly from their employment income. We do not accept insurance, Medicaid, VA benefits, or government contracts in year one. This keeps our model simple and transparent. If you're transitioning from treatment, contact us — we'll discuss options.
We work closely with treatment centers, hospitals, and discharge coordinators across Des Moines. If you're placing a client, call us directly. We can confirm bed availability in real time and handle intake quickly so your client has a smooth transition from treatment to housing.
