Evergreen offers shared recovery housing and support to women who are serious about recovery.
Evergreen Shared Housing cares for adult women who have completed treatment for substance use disorders, by providing compassionate, safe, and reliable housing in superior locations to promote recovery and personal growth. With hope, connection, and community support, we embrace the process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.
The Evergreen House
Evergreen House is located in a peaceful DuPage County suburb of Chicago, near shopping needs, parks, library, and public transportation.
Our home is fully furnished, where residents share four double-occupancy bedrooms and three bathrooms. Spacious family room, kitchen and dining area, recreational space, computer and internet access, and fenced backyard are available to all residents to enjoy.
As a sober living establishment, we help women who are willing to submit to the structure and accountability of our homes.
We support Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and our commitment equips each resident with the tools to maintain clean habits, manage their daily responsibilities and transform into an improved version of themselves while living in a family-like setting.

The Inspiration behind the Butterfly
Sweet as the sound of my newborn wings
I stretch them open, I let them dry
I haven't seen this world before
But I'm excused, I'm a butterfly
Sweet as the touch of your newborn wings
We fly in circles, we play with the sun
We haven't seen this world before
So fair, so bright, so blue the sky
Love me, love me on the leaves
Before we say goodbye
Love me, kiss me with the breeze
You will be my lullaby
Tomorrow I'll die
Be my lullaby
Love me, kiss me with your breeze
Love me, love me on the leaves
Love me, love me on the leaves
Before we say goodbye
Sweet as the wind as it gently blows
The day away. And the night time comes
Great are the wonders that silence shows
I fall asleep and I dream of the sun
And my butterfly.
— Song: Butterfly, by Rajaton —
