Overview

Mission

To serve the fox valley's recovery community with programs for individuals and their families, assisting addicts and alcoholics in relapse prevention and providing outreach services within our community.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, solutions recovery served 195 individuals through our recovery housing program, including 152 participants in our six-month primary sober living program and 43 individuals in graduate housing. Our recovery housing continuum now includes a 32-bed men's sober living center, two women's sober living homes, and five graduate housing residences that provide continued recovery support after successful completion of the primary program. 2025 marked the first full year of operating our 32-bed men's recovery residence at 206 algoma blvd., significantly expanding access to structured recovery housing in the fox valley. This expansion allowed us to serve more individuals while maintaining the high-quality, peer-led programming that defines our approach. We continue to observe an approximately 85% long-term sobriety rate among participants who successfully graduate from our primary sober living program, demonstrating the lasting impact of safe housing, peer support, accountability, and individualized recovery planning.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
