A Fresh Start Recovery House - Milwaukee Recovery House

About this Recovery House

A Fresh Start Recovery House is a sober living home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County. It is operated by A Fresh Start Recovery House, a Milwaukee-based provider of recovery housing.

A Sober House Operating in Milwaukee

Wisconsin publishes no street addresses for recovery residences, certified or otherwise, so an application to A Fresh Start Recovery House runs through the operator directly. What is public is the city and the county: this is a Milwaukee County sober house, part of a dense concentration of small, independently run recovery homes across the city.

Wisconsin's Voluntary Sober Living Certification

Wisconsin has no statute requiring a sober living home to be licensed or certified. The Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing offers voluntary NARR certification to residences that choose to seek it, committing them to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules, and an outside complaint process. A prospective resident evaluating any Milwaukee sober house can ask the operator directly whether it holds WASH certification and what that commitment covers.

Who Runs This Milwaukee Recovery Home

A Fresh Start Recovery House operates under its own name, one of many independently run houses that make up Milwaukee's recovery housing landscape. A small, independently named operator answers directly for its own house rules, admissions and fees, without a corporate layer between a resident and the person making decisions.

Milwaukee County Recovery Housing

Milwaukee is both the state's largest city and the seat of Milwaukee County, and it carries the largest concentration of recovery housing in Wisconsin. That density means residents at A Fresh Start Recovery House have access to Milwaukee County's courts, Milwaukee Area Technical College, and a broad outpatient treatment network without leaving the county.
