Legacy Sober Living Home Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Legacy Sober Living Home in Dixon, Illinois, is a men's recovery residence run by Sauk Valley Voices of Recovery. Dixon is the seat of Lee County, on the Rock River in northwest Illinois.

Men's Sober Living on East Everett Street

Legacy Sober Living Home occupies 114 East Everett Street in Dixon. Sauk Valley Voices of Recovery publishes that street address on its own website, so a prospective resident, a family member or a probation officer can see exactly where the house is before anyone applies. An address a provider is willing to print is an address a provider stands behind.

A One-Year Recovery Plan

Residents of Legacy Sober Living Home commit to a one-year recovery plan. A year is enough time to hold a job through a probation period, to work through a court obligation, or to save toward a lease of one's own.

Peer Recovery Coaching Included in the Stay

Weekly peer recovery coaching comes with residency at no additional cost. Progress is reviewed on a bi-weekly cycle through electronic assessments on the ERP Health Platform. Folding the coaching into the residency means a resident is not choosing between paying for the room and paying for the support.

Who the House Accepts

Legacy Sober Living Home serves men from Lee, Ogle, Whiteside and DeKalb counties. Applicants clear a background check and must be actively taking part in a recovery program. Those two conditions define the household as much as the address does: everyone living there is doing recovery work of some kind.

Lee County Recovery Housing in a County Seat

Dixon is the Lee County seat, which puts the county courthouse and the county offices in the same town as the house. For a man weighing sober living options in Dixon, that is a practical advantage rather than a civic footnote. Court dates, probation appointments and county services sit inside one municipality.

Certification and the Sauk Valley Network

The Illinois Association of Extended Care carries this operator's Legacy sober living homes on its list of certified recovery residences. Sauk Valley Voices of Recovery also runs Cledy's House of Hope, a women's residence on Martin Road in Rock Falls, so a man referred to Dixon and a woman referred to Rock Falls enter the same organization.
