Independent Sober Living, Backed by CommunitY
The Butte SPIRIT Men's Step-Down Home opened in March 2026, expanding our services with long-term housing built on the Social Model of Recovery. The home is non-clinical — there is no curfew and no sign-in. Residents govern the home together through community agreements and mutual accountability, building personal responsibility and community integration. Certified as a NARR Level 2 recovery residence by Recovery Access Montana, the Step-Down Home is the natural next step after clinical treatment — and a supportive home base for men with at least six months of sobriety.
