STAR House, the Sheriff’s Treatment and Recovery House, serves as a transitional facility for recovering male drug addicts who are released from the Shelby County jail. The $1 million, 4,269-square foot building includes 10 sleeping rooms, two offices and common living room, kitchen, laundry facilities and restrooms. STAR House has been developed as a collaboration of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Shelby County commissioners and the Tri-County Board of Mental Health and Recovery Services. It provides treatment, programming, mentoring and structure to people who are serious about working on their recovery from addiction. STAR House will also assist clients with finding jobs, budgeting, maintaining healthy living and developing life skills. The goal of STAR House is that individuals who have been released from incarceration and have committed themselves to working on living drug-free productive lives will make a long-term lifestyle change and become productive members of the community. The STAR House was built with funds provided by the United Way, Sidney Municipal Court, Shelby County Common Pleas Court, Tri-County Board of Mental Health Services, Shelby County commissioners, Shelby County Counseling Center, Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services and the Sheriff’s Office.
