The Last Chance House, Inc., is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established in 2005 by recovering alcoholic men, for alcoholic men.  Located in the northwestern Chicago, IL suburb of Crystal Lake, Last Chance House is an established residential home providing housing on a short-term basis for men from surrounding communities who are in recovery from alcoholism. 

Last Chance House has a proven record of helping its residents learn how to connect, possibly for the first time, or reconnect with family, friends, employment and community.  Its residents come from all walks of life:  young, old, skilled tradesmen, laborers, executives, single, married, husbands and fathers.

​

Residents undergo a thorough interview process prior to acceptance, designed to ensure their interest in residency is earnest of heart and sober of mind.  Last Chance House is a sober living environment in which all residents are required to become gainfully employed, attend regular twelve-step meetings and participate in daily residential chores.

Last Chance House "curriculum" has no self-serving interests; rather, our rules and requirements of residents are designed to help those residents establish and re-discover their moral and ethical conscience.  Through this process, residents are more fully able to resume a productive, normal life. 

​

Our Resident Manager, Robert Adamczyk, oversees residential life and ensures that all are treated with dignity and respect.  The primary purpose of the house is to provide a safe, nurturing, structured and sober living environment for its residents during a transitional period in their lives.
