What Makes Cliff Different
Our Requirements
Cliff isn't a place to just sleep. Every resident is held to the same standard, because structure — not just sobriety — is what rebuilds a life.
4 twelve-step meetings a week. We provide a meeting guide on move-in, built for both newcomers and residents with years of sobriety.
Work a twelve-step program. Get a sponsor within your first week, work the steps, then sponsor other men once you've completed yours.
Be of service. Monthly service commitments with organizations across Indianapolis's recovery community.
Engage in fellowship. Weekly and quarterly events — bowling, Top Golf, cookouts, our annual Cliffmas party — funded by a portion of every resident's rent.
Work. 32–40 hours a week, or the equivalent if you're in PHP, IOP, or school.
Weekly house meeting. Mandatory, led by a senior resident.

Jamarr Perry
“Cliff was there for me when I needed it the most. I was down and out, needed help, guidance, love, and support. Cliff House gave me that and more. From help in AA, sponsorship, service work, and fellowship, the people in Cliff gave me not only a new life, but the one I deserve and am happy with. I found my true self, happiness, and joy. I'm closer to my family, friends, and loved ones more than I have ever been. If you need help with addiction and addiction related issues, Cliff house is the place to be.”
Jack Mills
“Cliff was a lifeline for me during one of the most difficult periods in my life as I navigated the early stages of divorce, and leaned back into my addiction after a year and a half sober. The structure including meetings, service work, and fellowship helped root me deeply in the recovery community. The accountability and support from other Cliff residents made a world of difference. I'm truly grateful for everything Cliff provided and highly recommend to anyone serious about building a sober life”
