About Sober Living America - Illinois

Sober Living America in Chicago, Illinois, is a faith-based sober living organization operating in cities across the United States.

Established In 1994

Sober Living America was established in 1994. The organization states it has served over 100,000 people since 1994. A figure of that size is a claim about reach rather than about any one house, and it is the sort of number a family can raise directly when asking what the organization's Chicago operation looks like today.

A Network Across Forty-One Cities

Sober Living America operates across 41 cities. Chicago, Illinois is one of them and carries its own location page. A network spread over that many cities has a practical consequence for a resident: someone whose work or family later takes them to another city is dealing with one organization rather than starting again with a stranger.

The Sober Living America Model

The organization's housing is apartment-style sober living with peer support, career development, transportation services, AA and NA meetings, counseling and life skills classes. Four services are named at the location level: transitional housing, recovery education, career development and transportation services. Career development and transportation appearing at location level rather than as extras shows what the organization treats as core to the offer.

A Faith-Based Organization

Sober Living America describes itself as a faith-based addiction program, and its Chicago location page names spiritual enrichment among what it provides. A person for whom that orientation matters, in either direction, has it stated plainly rather than discovered after moving in.

Access Regardless Of Financial Situation

Sober Living America states that it serves people seeking addiction help regardless of financial situation. Set against a network of this size, that is a policy statement about who the organization will consider, and it is the first thing to confirm for a specific city.

Where Clinical Services Sit

Licensed counseling through the organization's Pinnacle Program is available in Georgia and South Carolina only. In every other state, including Illinois, the organization provides recovery housing and peer support. That places the Illinois operation in the housing category rather than the treatment category.
