Great Lakes Sober Living

About Great Lakes Sober Living

Great Lakes Sober Living is a sober living operator in Duluth, Minnesota, running two certified recovery residences across St. Louis County. The company houses men on 3rd Street and women at 2222 E 4th Street, with an administrative office elsewhere in the city.

A Duluth Recovery Housing Provider

Great Lakes Sober Living runs the housing side of recovery: a stable address, house structure and peer accountability, while residents keep their own outpatient providers and support meetings through Duluth's treatment network. Its office handles administration separately from either residence.

Serving Men and Women in Duluth

Great Lakes sober homes include Lakeview, a men's house on 3rd Street, and The Twos, a women's house on East 4th Street. Keeping the two genders at separate addresses means house rules, meetings and shared space are built around one population at each property.

MASH Certification on Both Houses

Both Lakeview and The Twos are certified through Minnesota Association of Sober Homes, meaning each has agreed to a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules, and a written relapse and discharge policy that outside parties can review. Certification is voluntary in Minnesota, and Great Lakes has chosen to carry it on both properties.

Reaching Two Duluth Neighborhoods

The 3rd Street and East 4th Street addresses put residents within the Duluth Transit Authority's service area, connecting either house to downtown Duluth, Essentia Health and St. Luke's, and the outpatient providers concentrated around the harbor.

Serving St. Louis County and the Arrowhead

Duluth is the seat of St. Louis County and the largest city in the Arrowhead region of northeastern Minnesota, and Great Lakes Sober Living draws residents from across that region into two houses close enough together to share management and administration.

Applying to a Great Lakes Sober Living House

Applications for either house go through Great Lakes Sober Living directly. Men are considered for Lakeview and women for The Twos, and certification requires the operator to disclose its weekly fee and house rules in writing before move-in.
