FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
IVY Home Foundation (IVY) received accreditation at two male recovery homes (also known as sober homes) and one female recovery home. These are the first accredited male recovery homes in Kansas and the first accredited recovery homes in the greater Wichita area.
Accreditation creates a standard for:
• living conditions
• safety
• operation accountability
• ethics
• following the social model of recovery
IVY operates Recovery Residences in middle class neighborhoods, areas where residents feel safe. We focus on trauma recovery in the first year of recovery. With this focus, we work to find wrap-around services for residents whenever and wherever available in Sedgwick County.
The Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers (MCRSP) and the
National Alliance of Recovery Residences (NARR) are the accrediting bodies.
