The William House Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The William House is a sober living home in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, in Eau Claire County, run by Eau Claire Sober Living. It is one of three residences the operator maintains in the city, alongside Rose House and Raven House.

A Sober Living Home Run by Eau Claire Sober Living

Eau Claire Sober Living positions its houses around peer accountability and day-to-day structure. Clinical treatment stays with outside providers: residents keep their own outpatient care and therapists elsewhere in the city, and the house itself supplies the address, the rules and the people holding each other to them.

Three Sober Houses Under One Eau Claire Operator

• The William House, in Eau Claire.
• Rose House, in Eau Claire, certified by the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing.
• Raven House, in Eau Claire, certified at NARR Level III with room for eight residents.

Running three houses under one name means a resident who needs a different set of housemates, or simply a change of pace, can raise it with an organization that already knows their history.

What WASH Certification Means for This Eau Claire Sober Living Operator

Two of Eau Claire Sober Living's three houses carry certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing, the state's National Alliance for Recovery Residences affiliate. Certification is granted house by house, so a resident comparing the William House to its certified sister houses is comparing an uncertified record to one with a published code of ethics and outside complaint review behind it.
