About this Recovery Home

Men's Recovery Housing on Early Street

The residence is at 230 Early Street in Park Forest. Clean Living Exceptional Alternative Recovery Residences runs it for men, and a single-gender household settles a question most people weigh before they apply anywhere. It settles it for the person making the referral too, who otherwise has to ask before anything else can be arranged.

Certified by the Illinois Association of Extended Care

The Illinois Association of Extended Care lists this operator among its certified recovery residences. IAEC certifies against written standards the association adopted in 1996 and revised in 2018. Certification means the operator has agreed to be measured against a published benchmark rather than against its own account of itself, and the benchmark is one an outside body wrote and applies. The register is maintained by IAEC, so a resident, a family member or a court officer can look the operator up without asking the house for anything.

Case Management and Peer Support

C.L.E.A.R.R. provides case management services, community involvement, cultural enlightenment and peer support alongside the housing. The operator describes the combination as a holistic recovery environment. Case management is the part that connects a man inside the house to the benefits, documents and appointments waiting outside it, and peer support is the part that comes from the other residents rather than from staff.

Sober Living Options in Park Forest

Park Forest sits at the southern edge of Cook County, near the Will County line. It was laid out as a planned community after the Second World War, which is why it reads as a village of residential streets rather than a stretch of arterial development. For a man looking at sober living options in Park Forest, the Early Street address keeps him in the south suburbs, near the family, the employer or the court he already deals with.

The Companion House in Glenwood

Clean Living Exceptional Alternative Recovery Residences also operates a residence at 222 South Minerva Avenue in Glenwood, another village in southern Cook County. That house serves men as well, so a placement with this operator can be arranged at either address without changing organizations.
