Living Well At Home With Love - 55th Street Lower Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Living Well At Home With Love - 55th Street Lower is a sober living home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County, operated by Living Well With Love At Home as the ground-floor unit of a two-flat property it also runs as a matching upper-unit residence.

A Ground-Floor Sober Living Unit in Milwaukee

The lower unit functions as its own household, with residents, house rules and a kitchen separate from the unit upstairs. A two-flat structure is a familiar Milwaukee housing type, and Living Well With Love At Home uses that layout to run two small, single-household sober living programs from one property. For a resident, the practical effect is a smaller group of housemates than a converted single-family home of the same size would hold.

Certification and Registration Are Both Voluntary in Wisconsin

No Wisconsin agency licenses sober living homes. A residence can seek certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing, which is the state's National Alliance for Recovery Residences affiliate, or it can register with the state Department of Health Services under the state's recovery residence registry law, or both, or neither. Registration is self-attested and DHS does not inspect or endorse a listed residence. Someone evaluating the 55th Street Lower house should ask directly what the operator's fees, rules and complaint process look like. Which list, if any, the house appears on matters far less.

Reaching Milwaukee's Services from a North Side Address

Milwaukee is the seat of Milwaukee County and the state's largest city, and its north side sits within reach of the county courthouse, Milwaukee Area Technical College and the hospital systems that serve the metro area. The Milwaukee County Transit System covers the city with routes designed to connect neighborhoods to downtown and to each other, which matters for a resident without a car trying to keep a job or an appointment schedule.

One Operator, Two Households at the Same Address

Living Well With Love At Home manages both the lower unit here and the matching upper unit above it as separate sober living homes. A resident who starts in one unit and later needs a different group of housemates, without changing operators or neighborhoods, has that option already in place.
