Acorn Sober Living Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Acorn Sober Living is a sober living home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County, on the city's north side, operated by Your Help Is On The Way Foundation.

A Sober Living Home on Milwaukee's North Side

Acorn Sober Living serves adults in recovery on Milwaukee's north side. Wisconsin does not publish street addresses for recovery residences, so no road name appears in this listing; the exact location comes directly from Your Help Is On The Way Foundation once an application is underway.

Part of a Five-House Milwaukee Operator

This is the original house behind the Acorn Sober Living name. Your Help Is On The Way Foundation has since added two more houses under the same brand, Acorn Sober Living I and Acorn Sober Living II, along with two 2nd Chance Sober Living units elsewhere in the city.

A Voluntary Certification System

Wisconsin has no requirement that a recovery residence certify or register with the state, and a house absent from either list has not failed anything. Anyone considering Acorn Sober Living should ask the operator directly for its fees, its house rules and its policy on a relapse, in writing.

Getting Around This Part of Milwaukee

Milwaukee's north side is served by the Milwaukee County Transit System, and the area sits within reach of the county's outpatient behavioral health providers and the courthouse downtown. For a resident without a car in the early months of recovery, that transit access is often the deciding factor in whether a job or an appointment is realistic.
