Onyx 336 Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Onyx 336 is a certified sober living home in Amery, Wisconsin, in Polk County, and the only Onyx house in the county.

The Only Onyx Sober House in Polk County

Seven of the eight houses in this network sit in St. Croix and Dunn counties. Onyx 336 is the one in Polk, which changes what the house is for. It is the address for someone from Polk County who wants recovery housing without leaving the county they know, and it is the address for someone from the operator's St. Croix or Chippewa Valley clusters who needs real distance from the town they were using in. Both are ordinary reasons to choose a house, and they pull in opposite directions.

Amery Recovery Housing in a County Seated at Balsam Lake

Amery is a small city in eastern Polk County, in the St. Croix Valley region. The county seat is Balsam Lake, where the courthouse and county offices sit, a short drive west. Amery carries a hospital and a school district of its own. This is genuinely rural Wisconsin, and the trade is visible on the ground: quiet, low rents and a small labor market, against fewer meetings, fewer outpatient slots and a car that becomes close to necessary. Wisconsin publishes no street address for recovery housing, so placement runs through the operator.

NARR Level II Certification for a Rural Sober Living Home

The Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing certifies this residence at NARR Level II. Certification carries more weight in a rural county than in a city, because there is no crowd of comparable houses to judge it against and very little published about any of them. What certification produces is a document trail: a code of ethics the house has signed, fees and rules that reach an applicant in writing before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an external complaint process. In Amery that is likely to be the only outside check on a recovery residence a family can consult.

Nine Beds and an Accepted Medication Policy at This Recovery Home

The house is registered with the state for nine residents and accepts people taking medication for opioid use disorder, both recorded when Onyx entered it on the recovery residence registry in December 2024. In a county with few recovery housing options, a house that accommodates a prescription is the difference between staying on treatment locally and moving away to keep it.

Onyx Sober Living Beyond Amery

The rest of the network runs west and south: three houses in New Richmond, two in Somerset, two in Menomonie. The Onyx Foundation behind them also runs re-entry programming, advocacy for improved recovery services and public education on addiction, and applications for every address go through the operator, so a resident who needs a different setting later is asking inside a network that already covers three counties.
