A Valued Village - Milwaukee Recovery House

About this Recovery House

A Valued Village is a sober living home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County. It is operated under the same name, one of many independently run recovery residences serving the city.

A Recovery Residence in the Village Model

The name points to a community-style approach to sober living: shared responsibility among housemates instead of a single dominant house manager. Wisconsin does not publish street addresses for recovery residences, so an application runs through the operator directly, but the city and county are a matter of record.

How Wisconsin Treats Sober Living Certification

No Wisconsin statute requires a sober living home to hold a license or certification. The Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing offers voluntary NARR certification to residences willing to commit to a published code of ethics, written fee and rule disclosure, and outside complaint review. Anyone comparing Milwaukee sober houses can ask an operator directly whether it participates.

An Independently Run Milwaukee Sober House

A Valued Village operates under its own name, putting admissions and house rules in the hands of people directly answerable for the property, a common structure among Milwaukee's smaller recovery residences.

Milwaukee County Recovery Housing

Milwaukee is the seat of Milwaukee County and carries the state's largest concentration of recovery housing. Residents here have access to the county's courts, its outpatient treatment providers and a job market that draws people from across southeastern Wisconsin.
