About this Sober House
Lakeview is a men's sober living home in Duluth, Minnesota, in St. Louis County, on 3rd Street. It is one of two houses run by Great Lakes Sober Living, a recovery housing operator serving the Duluth area.
A Men's Sober House on 3rd Street
Lakeview serves men in recovery on Duluth's 3rd Street, a residential corridor within reach of the Duluth Transit Authority's bus network, which connects the hillside neighborhoods to downtown and the harbor below. That access matters for a resident building a job and a routine without a car.
A Companion House for Women
Great Lakes Sober Living also runs a women's house, The Twos, elsewhere in Duluth, and the two properties operate under the same company, fee structure and set of expectations, even though each serves a single gender at its own address.
What MASH Certification Confirms
Lakeview is certified through Minnesota Association of Sober Homes, which commits the house to a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules before move-in, and a written relapse and discharge policy open to outside review. Certification in Minnesota is voluntary, so the house's decision to carry it is a choice, not a mandate.
Duluth and the Arrowhead Region
Duluth is the seat of St. Louis County and the hub of the Arrowhead region of northeastern Minnesota, home to Essentia Health and St. Luke's hospital systems, outpatient treatment providers, and the port and rail industries that anchor much of the local job market.
Applying to Lakeview
Great Lakes Sober Living handles admissions for Lakeview directly, and a certified house has to disclose its weekly fee and house rules in writing before a resident moves in.
It is our mission at Great Lakes Sober Living to offer safe, supportive, and sober environments for people to truly LIVE. We aim to not only prepare individuals to maintain long term abstinence from drugs and alcohol, but to help them develop the tools necessary to live happy and productive lives in recovery.
