Allied Sober Living Review
Located in midtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, Allied Sober Living provides a safe and structured living environment for members of the LGBT community. Besides fulfilling a much-needed demand for LGBT sober living, the house is situated in a city, which is known to have a thriving recovery community. While Allied Sober Living caters to the LGBT population, all are welcome, as long as they have a minimum of 30 days of verified sobriety, and are willing to work a program of recovery.
Accommodations and Amenities
Allied Sober Living accommodates nine clients at a time in a quaint gray and green house that sits on a lush lawn, shielded by trees. Like many of the older houses in Minneapolis, there is a sense of charm about the residence, yet the interior boasts a contemporary style. Residents are paired in spacious double-occupancy rooms. Rooms have dressers and closets, for clients to store their belongings. The fully equipped modern-style kitchen includes two stainless steel refrigerators and a sparkling steel stove. A granite kitchen island includes wooden stools and a modern sink. Clients are responsible for their own groceries and meal preparation.
The house includes a covered patio with wall-to-wall windows and old-fashioned style patio chairs, end tables and little animal statues perched on top of the green windowsill. Amenities include Wi-Fi, cable and laundry. A house manager lives on the premises. The home is in close proximity to a plethora of 12-step meetings, the midtown global market, which sells international food, other LGBT sober houses and Powderhorn Park, which includes a tranquil lake surrounded by trees.
Rules and Regulations
Prior to admittance, clients must have been clean and sober for a minimum of 30 days, and must show proof of continued abstinence. Potential applicants can’t be on house arrest, as they must attend meetings and be active in the local community.

A six-month minimum length of stay is required.
