About this Recovery Home
New Beginnings North in Chicago, Illinois is a sober living home for men in Cook County, on West Lawrence Avenue in the Uptown community area of the city's North Side.
A Men's Sober Living Home on West Lawrence Avenue
New Beginnings North Sober Living Home for Men is designed to be part of a long-term drug rehabilitation, and the house is limited to men only. That single-gender scope is stated by the operator rather than left to be inferred, which settles the first question most referrals ask. Framing the house as part of a long-term effort also sets an expectation about time: this is a place organized around the stretch after treatment rather than around a short stay.
What the Program Covers
New Beginnings North covers a structured program along with gas, electric and water, cable TV, and high-speed internet with wireless access. Rolling household services into the arrangement takes a set of bills off a resident's plate. It also removes the deposits, credit checks and account setups that stand between a man rebuilding his finances and a working utility, and it leaves him with one obligation to the house instead of several to companies he has no history with.
Help Finding Outpatient Care
New Beginnings North assists residents with finding outpatient services such as therapy or counseling and medical or psychiatric care. Those services sit outside the house, so the home works as the stable base while a resident's clinical care happens elsewhere in Chicago. The assistance counts for most at the point of arrival, when a man who has just left a treatment program has to rebuild a schedule of appointments in an unfamiliar part of the city.
Inside the Home
The house has central air conditioning and heat, and full-size washers and dryers on site. Fixtures of that kind carry weight in shared recovery housing, where the routines of daily life are part of what a resident is rebuilding. Laundry on the premises is the plain example: clean clothes for a shift or an interview stop being a problem to solve somewhere else every week.
