The Cook House operates as part of Recovery First Sober Homes in the Lake Phalen neighborhood on St. Paul's east side. This MASH-certified duplex provides accommodations for up to 11 men in recovery, with both single and double rooms that include generous storage space. Residents benefit from modern amenities including two fully equipped kitchens, spacious common areas, central climate control, complimentary on-site laundry, and high-speed internet access. The property's strategic location puts residents within walking distance of essential services including restaurants and grocery stores. Security and support are prioritized through 24/7 staffing, surveillance systems that protect personal belongings, and transportation assistance for recovery-related commitments. Recovery First Sober Homes creates a structured environment where residents must actively engage in their recovery journey through meeting attendance or treatment participation, submit to random substance testing, and maintain their living spaces. The community aspect of recovery is fostered through organized activities and recreational opportunities, including softball games, helping residents build connections while focusing on their sobriety goals.
