Onyx 1027 Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Onyx 1027 is a certified recovery residence in Menomonie, Wisconsin, in Dunn County, part of the Onyx Sober Living network in the Chippewa Valley.

Two Onyx Recovery Homes Serve Menomonie

The operator keeps two houses in this city, Onyx 1027 and Onyx 1620, each registered separately with the state and each certified separately by the state affiliate. Running two addresses in one town gives Onyx something a single house cannot offer. A resident whose household is not working out can move without leaving the city, the job, the outpatient provider or the meeting schedule already built around them, and the move is a conversation with people who know them.

A Sober House on Wisconsin's Recovery Residence Registry

Onyx 1027 was entered on the Wisconsin Department of Health Services recovery residence registry in December 2024, listing Dunn County, the city, a capacity of nine and acceptance of residents on medication for opioid use disorder. The registry is a voluntary disclosure created by state statute. It is not a certification, a license or an inspection, and the department does not endorse the houses on it. Its value is that the capacity and the medication policy sit on a record an applicant can read before calling.

What WASH Certification Checks in a Wisconsin Sober Living Home

Certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing is the separate and stricter record, and this house holds it at NARR Level II. The certifying body looks at whether the house publishes a code of ethics, whether fees and rules reach an applicant in writing before move-in, whether a relapse and discharge policy exists on paper, and whether a resident with a complaint can take it to someone outside the house. Level II describes peer-managed housing with structure through the week and clinical services obtained elsewhere.

Chippewa Valley Recovery Housing and the Dunn County Economy

Dunn County seats itself at Menomonie, and the University of Wisconsin-Stout and a hospital anchor the local economy. That gives a resident three things at short range that a rural Wisconsin county usually splits across an hour of driving: appointments, classes and entry-level work. People leaving treatment in the smaller towns of west central Wisconsin often find Menomonie is the nearest address that puts all three within reach.

Onyx Sober Homes in St. Croix and Polk Counties

Six more Onyx houses sit west of here: three in New Richmond and two in Somerset in St. Croix County, and one in Amery in Polk County. The Onyx Foundation runs re-entry programming, public education on addiction and advocacy for improved recovery services alongside the eight residences.
