A Women's Sober House in Roscoe Village

A Fresh Start Sober Living publishes Oakley House as a women's residence in Roscoe Village. Oakley House is one of seven residences the operator runs across Chicago, and one of three it runs for women in this neighborhood. Roscoe Village is a residential pocket of the North Side, the part of Chicago where every A Fresh Start address except the Old Irving Park pair is found.

What Surrounds Oakley House

A Fresh Start describes the streets around Oakley House as carrying dozens of local eateries offering a variety of fares, including Mediterranean, South American, Thai and Italian cuisines. The operator also describes Oakley House as near public transportation. Both facts answer the same practical question for a woman rebuilding a routine: what is reachable on foot, and what is reachable by bus or train. A neighborhood that supports that many kitchens is one a resident moves through on foot rather than plans a trip around.

Independent Living With Accountability

A Fresh Start describes its model as independent living with accountability, and Oakley House operates on that footing. The operator requires that a resident be able to live in a shared living environment, an expectation that shapes daily life inside the house more than any other. It also tells a woman exactly what she is agreeing to before she arrives, because space in the house belongs to the household rather than to any one person, and the ordinary give and take of living that way is treated as part of the work rather than an obstacle to it.

Shared Space Inside Oakley House

Oakley House is fitted with HD cable televisions carrying multiple movie channels. Indoor space that residents actually use is part of what keeps a sober house a household rather than a set of rented rooms, and an evening spent in a common room with housemates is an evening not spent alone.

Oakley House Within the A Fresh Start Network
