YANA House Recovery

About YANA House Recovery

YANA House Recovery is a recovery housing provider in Chicago, Illinois, operating a certified sober living home for men in Cook County.

Certification on the IAEC Registry

The Illinois Association of Extended Care lists YANA House Recovery as a certified operator on its registry of IAEC-certified recovery residences. For a recovery housing provider, appearing on a certifying body's own published list gives families a reference point outside the operator's marketing, and one a person can check without asking the organization for anything.

Licensed Under DHS and DASA Rules

YANA House Recovery states that YANA House is a licensed facility adhering to all DHS and DASA administrative rules and requirements. Licensure and certification cover different ground, and this operator carries both. Holding a state license alongside an association certification means the organization answers to a public agency for the operation of the house as well as to the association for the standard it is measured against.

Founded by Charlie P.

YANA House Recovery was founded by Charlie P., whose stated philosophy is that changing the way a person thinks changes his actions. The organization publishes that philosophy as the basis of how it works with residents, which tells a referring counselor what the house will emphasize once a man moves in.

Connecting Residents to Treatment and Fellowship

YANA House Recovery provides linkages to addiction treatment services and to substance abuse self-help services such as AA, NA and other twelve step programs. Its services are targeted at supporting an individual with recovery from substance abuse, and that is the operator's stated purpose. An organization describing its work in those terms is positioning itself as the housing and the connection to care rather than as the provider of the treatment itself.

Where YANA House Recovery Operates

YANA House Recovery operates from South Normal Avenue in Chicago, inside Cook County, and publishes hours of Monday through Sunday, 24 hours a day. Anyone comparing recovery housing providers on the South Side can take questions about openings straight to the organization.
