About Clean Living Exceptional Alternative Recovery Residences

Clean Living Exceptional Alternative Recovery Residences in Park Forest, Illinois, is a sober living operator running two men's recovery residences in southern Cook County.

A Nonprofit Recovery Housing Provider

Clean Living Exceptional Alternative Recovery Residences is a registered Illinois nonprofit carrying EIN 84-3838995, and it trades under the initials C.L.E.A.R.R. Its mission, as the organization states it, is to provide a safe and secure sober living environment for the person recovering from substance use disorder. Nonprofit registration puts the organization's filings on the public record, which gives a referring professional something to check. A mission written around the living environment rather than around treatment also marks where this operator draws the line on what it does.

Certification Through IAEC

The Illinois Association of Extended Care lists C.L.E.A.R.R. among the state's certified recovery residence providers. That certification is granted against a written standard the association adopted in 1996 and revised in 2018. A standard with a revision history is one that has been reconsidered at least once, and certification against it means an outside association rather than the operator decides whether the mark has been met.

C.L.E.A.R.R. Sober Homes in Park Forest and Glenwood

The organization runs two addresses. The Early Street house is in Park Forest and the Minerva Avenue house is in Glenwood, both villages at the southern end of Cook County. Both serve men. Two houses in neighboring south-suburban villages let the operator take a placement without moving an applicant to the other side of the metropolitan area.

What This Operator Attaches to Its Housing

C.L.E.A.R.R. provides case management services, together with peer support, community involvement and cultural enlightenment. The operator describes its houses as supporting a holistic recovery environment. Supports named at the organization level apply at both addresses, so a resident is not choosing between the two houses on the strength of what each one offers.

A South Cook County Recovery Housing Provider

An operator based in Park Forest and Glenwood serves the south suburbs on their own terms, keeping residents near the communities, employers and courts they already deal with. Both C.L.E.A.R.R. addresses are men's recovery residences.
