About Prospect House

Prospect House offers residential treatment, intensive outpatient, and alumni housing programs for men in recovery. Operating since 1970 in Cincinnati, this recovery center provides a six-month minimum program with dedicated alumni support and transitional housing options.

Prospect House operates a men-only residential treatment facility and recovery community in Cincinnati's Hamilton County, serving those seeking long-term addiction treatment and substance abuse recovery. Since 1970, this recovery center has maintained a commitment to helping men without financial resources access comprehensive care through a compact campus featuring six buildings on adjoining land.

The facility provides residential treatment, outpatient programs, and intensive outpatient (IOP) services with a six-month minimum stay requirement. Beyond primary treatment, Prospect House operates specialized aftercare programming including transitional housing, a three-quarter-way residential program, and dedicated alumni housing with 19 beds alongside their 60 treatment beds. This continuum ensures sustained recovery community connection throughout the transition back to independent living.

Treatment programming incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address substance use, alcoholism, drug addiction, PTSD, gambling addiction, and co-occurring disorders. The recovery center maintains a 24-hour operating schedule with professional kitchen facilities, a large meeting hall, and dedicated group meeting rooms to support comprehensive programming and peer interaction.

Prospect House specifically serves men including veterans from Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan conflicts, seniors, those with HIV/AIDS, court-ordered individuals, ex-offenders, chronic relapsers, and members of the African-American community. The facility accepts Medicaid, offers sliding scale fees, and provides financial assistance to men without insurance or financial resources, making long-term recovery accessible regardless of economic circumstances.
