Men's Sober Living in Roscoe Village

A Fresh Start Sober Living identifies Lincoln House as its largest home. Lincoln House is one of two men's residences in the network, the other being Grace House in North Center. A man choosing between them is choosing between two Chicago neighborhoods inside one program rather than between two operators.

Transit and Parking at Lincoln House

A Fresh Start reports that the CTA Brown Line runs by Lincoln House and that street parking in the area is easy to find. The Brown Line links the North Side to the Loop, so rail service at the door reaches the central business district without a transfer. The operator encourages all of its residents to seek and obtain active employment, and rail service alongside available parking is what makes that instruction workable for a man holding down shifts, whether he drives to a job or rides to one.

Testing and Meeting Attendance

Residents at Lincoln House are subject to random drug screens and daily breathalyzing. A Fresh Start also states that residents must attend self-help meetings regularly. Those two requirements are the accountability structure of the house. Testing that runs on the operator's schedule rather than on request is what allows every man in the building to take the sobriety of the others as given, and regular meeting attendance keeps recovery work going outside the house as well as inside it.
