Brenee's Way - Milwaukee Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Brenee's Way is a sober living home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County, run under one name by its operator.

A Sober Living Home in Milwaukee

Milwaukee holds most of Wisconsin's sober living supply, and Brenee's Way is one of the many small, independently run houses that make up that market. The same operator runs a second, larger house in the city registered for five residents, so a resident who needs a different set of housemates has somewhere to move without changing operators.

Milwaukee County Recovery Housing

As the seat of Milwaukee County and the state's largest city, Milwaukee concentrates the outpatient providers, courts and transit that someone rebuilding a routine after treatment typically needs within easy reach of each other. Brenee's Way sits inside that supply without a published street address, and prospective residents should expect to confirm the location directly with the operator.

What a Wisconsin Recovery Residence Registration Does and Does Not Mean

Wisconsin has no state license or certification requirement for a sober living home. This house appears on the state's voluntary recovery registry through the Department of Health Services, registered for three residents and recorded as accepting residents on medication-assisted treatment. Registration only means the operator has self-attested that people in recovery live there; it is not an inspection or a code of ethics, and absence from any list is not a mark against a house.

Contacting Brenee's Way

Applications go directly to the operator. Because the address is not public, the questions worth asking up front are the fee, the house rules and whether a referral from a treatment provider is expected before move-in.
