Recovery R Us LLC - Milwaukee Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Recovery R Us is a sober living home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County, which holds the largest concentration of recovery housing in the state.

How This Milwaukee Sober House Is Located

Neither of Wisconsin's two voluntary lists publishes a street address for a recovery residence, and this operator does not publish one either, so the listing is anchored on the city and the county. Placement runs through Recovery R Us directly, and the exact address comes up once an application is underway. The Milwaukee County Transit System reaches most residential blocks in the city, which is usually what decides whether a resident can hold a job and keep an appointment in the same week.

Choosing Among Milwaukee County Recovery Homes

Milwaukee County holds more recovery housing than the rest of Wisconsin combined, and a large share of it is run by small operators with one or two houses and little published material. That shapes how a search works here. A family comparing options is usually comparing operators they have spoken to, and the questions asked on the phone carry the weight a brochure would carry elsewhere.

Neither Wisconsin List Is Required of a Sober Living Home

Wisconsin licenses no recovery residence. The Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing certifies homes that apply for it, and the state recovery residence registry records capacity and medication policy for homes that register. Both are voluntary. Registration records what an operator states about itself, and certification is the separate and stricter standard, binding a house to a code of ethics and an outside complaint process. A house on neither list has nothing recorded against it, and it also has nothing on record for an outsider to check, which puts the weight on the conversation with the operator.

What to Ask This Recovery Residence Before Applying

Ask who the house serves, what the weekly fee covers and what it does not, whether a house manager lives on site, whether residents taking buprenorphine or methadone are accepted, and what happens after a relapse. Get the fee and the discharge policy in writing. A certified residence is obliged to hand those over before move-in, and an uncertified one can still choose to.
