Bridges Sober Living Chicago

About Bridges Sober Living Chicago

Bridges Sober Living Chicago, based in Chicago, Illinois, is a sober living operator running two gender-separated recovery residences in Cook County.

Two Named Houses Under One Operator

Bridges Sober Living Chicago publishes two residences: California House, for men, in Logan Square, and Greenview House, for women, in the Rogers Park area. Publishing each house by name lets a family identify the organization behind a specific street address instead of dealing with an unnamed landlord.

What Bridges Sober Living Chicago Does Not Do

The operator states plainly that Bridges is not a drug or alcohol treatment facility nor a detox center. Both houses are sober living, described by the operator as much like living in an apartment except with roommates who are there to support one another.

Medication-Assisted Treatment Is Welcome

Bridges Sober Living absolutely and unconditionally supports clients in Medically Assisted Treatment programs, and says that people in MAT programs offering Suboxone or Methadone deserve to rebuild their lives. That position is published rather than handled quietly case by case.

California House in Logan Square

California House is the men's residence, a sober living home in the Logan Square neighborhood, within walking distance of the Logan Square and California stops on the CTA Blue Line.

Greenview House in Rogers Park

Greenview House is the women's residence. The operator describes premium single-occupancy rooms, an open floor plan kitchen, dining and living area, and in-unit laundry, within walking distance of the Loyola CTA Red Line station.

House Rules Across Both Homes

Each Bridges Sober Living Chicago home runs on simple house rules with a live-in manager to help keep everyone safe, and residents pitch in on a few chores. The operator also markets the peer community it calls a "Sober Network" to residents at both addresses.

Bridges Sober Living Chicago at a Glance

Two houses, two genders, one Cook County operator: for anyone comparing sober living operators in Chicago, Illinois, or Bridges Sober Living homes specifically, the pairing of a Logan Square men's residence with a Rogers Park women's residence is the operator's defining structure. Logan Square sits on the Northwest Side and Rogers Park on the far North Side at the Evanston line, so the two addresses sit on different rapid transit routes into the city center.
