About this Recovery House
5K Behavioral Care, LLC is a recovery residence in New Holstein, Wisconsin, in Calumet County. Registered with the state for two residents in October 2025, it is among the smallest recovery homes on Wisconsin's registry and one of the few in this rural county.
A Two-Bed Recovery Residence and What That Means
Two residents is the smallest configuration a recovery residence takes. There is no house culture, no rota, no hierarchy of tenure, and no crowd to hide in. What there is instead is a single housemate and an operator who is directly involved because there is no scale at which to be otherwise. That setting suits someone who has already found large sober houses unworkable, or whose recovery sits alongside anxiety or a mental health diagnosis that a busy household makes worse. It is the wrong choice for someone who relies on the momentum of a full house.
Behavioral Care and Recovery Housing Under One Operator
The operator's name points at the combination it is working in. Wisconsin sets no rule requiring a recovery residence to be either clinical or peer-run, so an operator can hold both roles, and small settings are where that pairing is easiest to manage well. It is a fair and useful question to put directly: which role is being exercised here, what support is actually provided in the house, and what a resident is expected to arrange for themselves elsewhere.
Medication-Assisted Recovery Is Accepted
The registry entry for this residence records that residents taking medication for opioid use disorder are accepted. In rural Calumet County, where the nearest opioid treatment program is likely to be in Appleton, Fond du Lac or Manitowoc, that answer carries extra weight. A resident is already going to be traveling for the prescription, and housing that treats the medication as ordinary keeps the trip worth making.
Recovery Housing in New Holstein and Calumet County
New Holstein is a small city in southern Calumet County, in the farmland east of Lake Winnebago. Chilton, the county seat, is a short drive north. The Fox Cities are northwest, Fond du Lac southwest, Manitowoc and Sheboygan east toward Lake Michigan, each between thirty and forty-five minutes out. A recovery bed here lets a Calumet County resident stay inside their own community while stepping down from treatment they had to leave the county to receive. There is no public transportation, so a car, a ride or work within walking distance is a practical requirement.
What the Wisconsin Registry Establishes About This Sober Living Home
Wisconsin licenses no recovery residences. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services keeps a voluntary registry under 2019 Wisconsin Act 120 that records county, city, capacity, contact and medication policy, without inspection or endorsement. Registration makes a residence eligible for referrals under the statute and for some state and federal pass-through funding. Because no street address is published and this operator publishes no website, everything else comes from a direct conversation: availability, the weekly cost, house expectations, who the other resident is, and what happens after a relapse.
