Sandy Fabry Recovery Home Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Sandy Fabry Recovery Home is a certified sober living home in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the seat of Brown County. It is operated by the Jackie Nitschke Center, which has run addiction treatment in Green Bay since 1973, and it holds certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing.

A Certified Sober House in Green Bay

Sandy Fabry Recovery Home is one of the residences the Jackie Nitschke Center uses to house people after residential or outpatient treatment ends. Green Bay is the seat of Brown County and the region's largest city, with the transit, clinics and entry-level job market that someone rebuilding a routine actually needs close by.

What WASH Membership Requires of a Recovery Residence

Membership in the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing, the state's only NARR affiliate, is voluntary, and a house that holds it has agreed to a published code of ethics, disclosed its fees and rules in writing, adopted a documented relapse and discharge policy, and opened itself to complaint review from outside the house. Wisconsin does not license or regulate recovery residences directly, so WASH membership is the clearest signal a prospective resident has to work with.

Run by Green Bay's Longest-Standing Treatment Provider

The Jackie Nitschke Center has operated in Green Bay for more than fifty years and is the only adult residential treatment center in Brown County certified for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Its scholarship program, named for its own history as the Legacy Scholarship, covers the full cost of treatment for two applicants every month who could not otherwise afford it.

Recovery Housing in Brown County

Green Bay concentrates most of Brown County's outpatient providers, its courthouse and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College inside city limits, and Sandy Fabry Recovery Home sits inside that same footprint. A resident can hold a job, keep a clinical appointment and meet a court date without leaving the county, which is the practical reason so much of the region's recovery housing is concentrated here.

The Jackie Nitschke Center's Recovery Homes in Green Bay

Sandy Fabry Recovery Home is one of three certified residences the Jackie Nitschke Center runs in the city. Cornerstone Recovery Home houses men, and Lyndahl Recovery Home houses women, both under the same operator and the same coordinator network. Someone whose needs change after move-in can raise it with people who already know their case.
