The Next Step Sober Living And Recoveiy

About The Next Step Recovery

The Next Step Recovery is a sober living operator in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, running certified and uncertified recovery housing in Eau Claire County. The organization builds its program around daily structure, peer support and life-skills work covering employment, education and healthy living.

An Eau Claire Recovery Housing Provider

The Next Step Recovery supplies housing and structure, not clinical treatment. Residents keep their own outpatient providers, therapists and recovery meetings elsewhere in the city, and the organization's job is to keep the houses stable, the expectations consistent, and the fees predictable from one address to the next.

Two Sober Houses in Eau Claire

The Next Step Recovery runs two residences in the city: The Next Step Sober Living and Recovery home, and Tam Bam House, which carries NARR Level III certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing with room for nine residents. Both houses run under the same daily structure and the same staff.

NARR Level III Certification Through WASH

Tam Bam House holds certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Certification obliges the operator to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and review by a complaint process outside the house. WASH certifies house by house, so the level attaches to Tam Bam House specifically.

One Application, Two Eau Claire Addresses

Applying through The Next Step Recovery means a resident is considered for either address, and a transfer after move-in is a conversation with people who already know them, not a fresh application filed somewhere unfamiliar. That flexibility matters most in the first few months, when the wrong set of housemates can undo otherwise solid progress.

Serving the Chippewa Valley

Eau Claire is the seat of Eau Claire County and the largest city in the Chippewa Valley, drawing residents from smaller towns across west-central Wisconsin who need outpatient care, transit and entry-level work concentrated in one place. Mayo Clinic Health System and Eau Claire Transit both serve the city directly, which is why so much of the region's recovery housing lands here.
