About this Recovery Home
Serenity House Men's Recovery Home in Addison, Illinois, is a sober living home for men in early recovery. Addison sits in DuPage County, and the home operates from the Serenity House campus at 891 South Rohlwing Road.
Men's Recovery Housing On South Rohlwing Road
Serenity House runs eight recovery homes in total, five of them for men: four in Addison and one in Batavia. This Addison record is one of those men's residences, so the Addison men's houses and the Batavia house belong to a single organization's men's roster rather than to separate providers.
Ninety Days Sober Before Entry
Serenity House requires a minimum of 90 days of sobriety upon entering a recovery home. A prospective resident schedules an assessment and is then placed on a waitlist. That sequence tells an applicant two useful things. The first is timing: a ninety-day minimum means this is not a step taken directly out of detox, and someone still counting early days has a stretch to cover before the door opens. The second is planning: an assessment followed by a waitlist means entry is arranged in advance rather than on the day housing is needed, so a discharge date and an application are best lined up well ahead of each other.
What Residents Do Each Week
Residents attend a minimum of three support group meetings a week. Residents also participate in a weekly one-hour recovery management group with peers and a counselor. Between them, those two requirements set the weekly rhythm of the house: several meetings outside it and one structured session inside it, with a counselor in the room for the latter.
Addison And DuPage County
Addison is a village in DuPage County, in the western suburbs of Chicago. DuPage County recovery housing at the Serenity House campus on South Rohlwing Road places a resident inside that suburban corridor rather than in the city. Wheaton is the DuPage County seat, and Addison borders Wood Dale, Elmhurst, Villa Park and Bensenville, so the surrounding towns are close-set suburbs with their own services rather than a single dominant center.
Sober Living Options In Addison For Men
This home is the men's side of the Serenity House presence in Addison, and gender is the line the organization draws between its houses. A man weighing sober living in Addison, Illinois, is weighing a place inside a network that also reaches Batavia, a Kane County city on the Fox River beyond the western edge of DuPage.
Practical Notes For Applicants
- Confirm the 90-day sobriety requirement is met before requesting an assessment.
- Expect a waitlist after the assessment.
- Plan for three weekly support group meetings plus the recovery management group.
