Turn 12 Recovery Lodge and the Vanderburgh Sober Living Charter
Turn 12 Recovery Lodge operates as a Chartered Operator under Vanderburgh Sober Living, a network built through the VSL Mastery program. Charter status connects this home to established training, a shared referral network, and operating standards drawn from more than ten years of running recovery housing across the United States. For residents and their families, that means the day-to-day operations of Turn 12 Recovery Lodge follow the same systems used by more than 110 Chartered Operators nationwide.
The Value of a VSL Chartered Home
Becoming a VSL Chartered Operator provides access to a comprehensive "platform of services" designed to ensure both resident success and business sustainability:
Training Through the Sober Living Academy
Turn 12 Recovery Lodge's leadership has ongoing access to the Sober Living Academy, a library of more than 130 courses covering house operations, resident policy, and staff leadership.
A National Referral Network
As a Chartered Operator, this home connects to more than 2,200 referral sources nationwide and a call center that fields housing inquiries directly.
Standards Set by the Vanderburgh Foundation
Chartered Operators agree to meet operating standards set by the Vanderburgh Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) charity, while continuing to run their homes independently.

The Path to Becoming a Chartered Operator
Joining VSL starts with the Mastery program, which pairs training, real estate guidance, and business systems built from more than a decade of operating recovery homes. VSL states the program can take a new operator from application to opening in about 45 days, compared to 100 or more days for someone starting independently.
Application and Planning
The process starts with a short online application, followed by a conversation about the property, timeline, and readiness for a home like Turn 12 Recovery Lodge.
2. Training and Business Systems:
Accepted operators get access to the Sober Living Academy, state-specific licensing guides, and more than 130 template documents covering intake, policy, and financial tracking.
3. Ongoing Support After Opening:
VSL continues to provide marketing, intake call center coverage, and a vendor network after a home opens, the same systems Turn 12 Recovery Lodge draws on today.
Join the VSL's Mission
