A Certified Women's Sober House in Milwaukee
This sober house serves women only, which keeps bathrooms, house meetings and shared space single-gender and puts one consistent set of expectations on everyone living there. Roots Recovery runs a separate men's program in the same city, keeping the two populations in distinct housing.
House Managers Drawn From Roots Recovery's Own Alumni
Every house manager at a Roots Recovery home has gone through the organization's own program, which means the person enforcing house rules day to day has lived through the same process residents are working through now.
What WASH Certification Establishes
Wisconsin has no state license for recovery residences. This house carries certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing, the state's NARR affiliate, which means it has committed to a published code of ethics, disclosed its fees and rules in writing, and accepted outside complaint review.
Recovery Housing Near UW-Milwaukee
The East Side location puts residents within reach of UW-Milwaukee's campus resources, a dense corridor of outpatient providers, and Milwaukee County's public transit, which matters for a resident who needs a class, an appointment or a job within walking distance before a car becomes realistic.
Roots Recovery's Broader Accreditation
Beyond WASH certification for this specific residence, Roots Recovery as an organization has earned accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, a national body that reviews addiction treatment and recovery organizations against a published set of standards. That credential describes the organization behind this home; it is separate from the house's own WASH certification.
Our women's sober house is a two-story, single family home. With hardwood floors, a full kitchen, spacious bedrooms, tasteful decor, washers and dryers, and more, this sober living home is furnished with your comfort and convenience in mind.
