CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill. (AP) — A Crystal Lake man is preparing to open a sober-living residence for men in recovery for drug or alcohol addiction.
The Northwest Herald reports that Chris Reed and New Directions Addiction Recovery Services recently acquired the residence in order to provide a support network and stable environment that’ll facilitate those individuals’ growth toward becoming a positive and productive member of society.
Case managers will meet with each resident to identify areas of improvement and set goals, such as building a resume, reobtaining a driver’s license or paying off court fines.
Reed says the 12-person facility is expected to open by Oct. 1 after construction and renovations to the property.
Reed also owns The Other Side, a sober bar that opened in Crystal Lake in 2013.
