A Sober Living Home on Milwaukee's Near North Side

Acorn Sober Living I serves adults in recovery near the heart of Milwaukee. Wisconsin publishes no street addresses for recovery housing, so this listing anchors on the city; Your Help Is On The Way Foundation confirms the exact address directly with an applicant.

One of Three Acorn Houses

Acorn Sober Living I is the first of two additional houses added to the original Acorn Sober Living brand, the other being Acorn Sober Living II elsewhere in the city. Your Help Is On The Way Foundation also runs two 2nd Chance Sober Living units under a separate name.

What Certification Would and Would Not Change

Wisconsin's certification and registry systems are both voluntary, and neither one inspects or licenses a house. A house not listed on either has simply not opted in, which says nothing about how it is actually run. What answers those questions is the operator's own written fee schedule and house rules, which any applicant can ask for before moving in.

Recovery Housing in Milwaukee County

Milwaukee County concentrates most of the state's outpatient treatment capacity, and a resident at Acorn Sober Living I is a short trip from the county's courts, clinics and the Milwaukee County Transit System's core routes.
