Sober living after prison or jail in Oklahoma
A sober living home gives you an address, structure and men walking the same road while you rebuild. Overcomers accepts men on probation and parole, and with your signed release we can talk with your officer.
Line up your address before release
Tell your case manager and your probation or parole officer that you’re applying. Your release conditions may require an address your officer approves, so ask what they need from us.
You don’t have to wait until you’re out. A family member can apply for you, and case managers can use our referral form and see today’s open beds.
Plan for $210 on move-in day: the $75 move-in fee plus your first week’s rent. Family members can pay the weekly invoice online.
Get your state ID
If you’re released by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, you can get a state ID card at a Service Oklahoma location within 30 days of release, at no cost to you, using your Identification Payment Certificate.
Bring the certificate, a copy of your Consolidated Record Card, your birth certificate and proof of residence (Service Oklahoma procedure).
Apply for SoonerCare
Oklahoma adults ages 19 to 64 with income at or below 138% of the federal poverty level can qualify for SoonerCare. Apply at MySoonerCare.org or call 800-987-7767 (OHCA). Rules can change, so check before you apply.
Coverage helps you keep up with a prescriber, counseling or MAT while you live in a sober home.
Find work
Every Overcomers resident works, goes to school or keeps an active job search. Employers who hire you can use Oklahoma’s Federal Bonding Program and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit.
Sober living isn’t a halfway house
In Oklahoma, a halfway house usually means a facility the Department of Corrections contracts with to house people finishing a prison sentence (ODOC). Sober living is voluntary: you choose to live here, you pay rent, and the goal is a sober, stable life.
What life at Overcomers looks like
- A house manager, drug testing and a written plan for every man
- Sunday service and Tuesday Disciple Me at The Good Fight Church
- Recovery meetings by your time sober, and work every day
- Curfew at 10 PM and a weekly house meeting
Questions
How much does it cost?
Rent is $135 a week, due before the Sunday house meeting, plus a one-time $75 move-in fee. To move in, you pay $210: the $75 move-in fee plus your first week’s rent. Payments are non-refundable. See the cost page for late and cleaning fees.
Do you drug test?
Yes. Every resident takes a drug screen at intake to set a baseline, then random and for-cause tests, including after an overnight pass. Refusing or tampering with a test counts as a positive.
Do I need a job?
Yes. Every resident needs to be working, in school, in treatment or in an active, documented job search.
Do you accept men on probation, parole or in drug court?
Yes. With your signed release, we can talk with your probation officer, sponsor or healthcare provider.
