Sober Living for Men in Chicago

Their sober living home provides luxurious semi-private rooms with queen sized beds and shared marble and granite-finished bathrooms.

The entire home has access to a fully-stocked kitchen, multiple televisions and internet access to stay connected with family during treatment.

A typical day at the facility starts with breakfast and morning chores followed by morning meetings and check-in. During the afternoon, residents are required to attend individual therapy or counseling sessions, educational/work programs and 12 Step meetings.

Unique Programs for Aftercare

Long-term sobriety requires aftercare resources which is why New Beginnings North offers relapse prevention education, life skills coaching, assistance with employment or education and transitions planning courses. A unique aspect of this facility is their post-residence support which encourages former residents to check-in and continue treatment if needed as well as possibly becoming a mentor for current patients.
