Onyx 1112 Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Onyx 1112 is a certified sober living home in New Richmond, Wisconsin, in St. Croix County, with room for nine residents. Onyx Sober Living operates it as one of eight recovery residences the Onyx Foundation runs in western Wisconsin.

Nine Beds in a New Richmond Sober House

Nine residents share the house. That number sets the texture of daily life more directly than almost anything else on a listing: bedrooms are shared, chores and quiet hours get negotiated among a group small enough that everyone knows who left the dishes, and there are enough people in the building for a house meeting to carry weight. It also holds the weekly cost down, which matters for someone leaving treatment without savings. New Richmond publishes no street address for a recovery residence, and placement is arranged with the operator once an application is moving.

NARR Level II Certification at This Recovery Residence

The Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing certifies this house at NARR Level II. Level II describes peer-managed housing with structure built into the week and clinical care delivered by outside providers. Certification is voluntary in Wisconsin, so a house carrying it has chosen to work inside a published code of ethics, to disclose its fees and rules in writing before anyone moves in, to keep a written relapse and discharge policy, and to answer a complaint process that runs outside the house. For a family comparing options from out of state, that record is the one thing they can check themselves.

Medication Assisted Treatment in This Sober Living Home

Residents taking buprenorphine or methadone are accepted here. Onyx recorded that policy with the state when it registered the house, so it sits on a public record instead of resting on a phone call. Acceptance is far from universal in recovery housing, and someone who loses a bed over a prescription can lose the prescription along with it.

St. Croix County Recovery Housing and the Hudson Corridor

St. Croix County runs along Wisconsin's western border, seated at Hudson, and it is the fastest-growing part of the St. Croix Valley because the Twin Cities metro sits immediately across the river. New Richmond works as the county's northern hub, carrying its own hospital, schools and municipal offices. A resident here can hold a job on either side of the state line, keep an outpatient appointment in the city, and reach a court date in the county seat, all without the address changing.

Where This House Sits Among the Onyx Recovery Homes

New Richmond holds three of the operator's eight houses, and the numbers are how the network keeps them apart on paper. Onyx 323 and Onyx 414 are the other two in the city. The Onyx Foundation pairs its housing with re-entry programming, advocacy for better recovery services and public education on addiction, so a resident who needs a different household after moving in is talking to people who already run seven other addresses nearby.
