Recovery

The very core of Great Lakes Sober Living's philosophy is to give our residents the support they need to grow in their individual recovery journeys. We are very active in the recovery community here in Duluth and will help our residents engage with the resources they need to build a lasting and meaningful recovery.

Structure

Living life on life’s terms outside the confines of a treatment center can be intimidating. Great Lakes Sober Living focuses on creating structure and accountability within a cooperative living setting that allow residents to become fully engaged in their communities and live sober.

Community

Great Lakes Sober Living is grateful for, and strongly encourages participation in, our thriving local recovery community. Our residents also will engage with our local community through volunteering, ample employment opportunities, higher education, and world class outdoor activities.
