Jessie Crawford Recovery Center - Sun Prairie Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Jessie Crawford Recovery Center - Sun Prairie is a recovery residence in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, in Dane County, run by the nonprofit of the same name. The house opened its doors to residents in the spring of 2025 after roughly two years of development, and it houses men and women in the same building on separate floors.

A Two-Story Recovery Home for Men and Women

The Sun Prairie house splits by floor, not by separate address: women live upstairs, men live downstairs, and every bedroom includes its own bathroom. Thirty beds across twenty bedrooms make this one of the larger single-site recovery homes in the Madison area, closer in scale to a residential program than a typical shared sober house.

Treatment Built Into the Housing

Residents here receive a minimum of twenty hours of structured treatment a week alongside the housing itself, with average stays running thirty to forty five days. That combination of sober living paired with active treatment on site sets this house apart from a peer-run sober home where clinical care happens elsewhere.

Sun Prairie and Dane County Recovery Housing

Sun Prairie sits just northeast of Madison, the Dane County seat, and residents here can reach the county's courts, outpatient network and the state capital's job market within a short drive. Dane County holds one of the larger concentrations of recovery housing outside Milwaukee, and a house of this size adds real capacity to that supply.

How Wisconsin Certification and Registration Apply Here

Wisconsin does not license recovery residences by name; certification runs through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing (WASH) on a voluntary basis, and the state Department of Health Services separately keeps a voluntary, self-attested recovery residence registry. Neither list being silent on a given house says anything about how it runs.

Reaching Jessie Crawford Recovery Center

Admissions run through the nonprofit directly. Worth asking: what the intake process looks like, how the twenty hours of weekly treatment are structured, what happens after the average stay ends, and whether residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted.
