About this Recovery House
Butterfly House is a women's sober living home in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, in Polk County, registered with the state for five residents since July 2025. It is operated by Moms And Dads Against Meth, Inc., a nonprofit that frames its housing around peer support and four principles published for anyone living there.
A Five-Bed Women's Sober House in St. Croix Falls
The house serves women recovering from alcohol or other drug dependencies, and keeping the household to five means nobody blends into a crowd. A resident who stops showing up for a shared chore or a morning check-in is noticed the same day, which is the kind of accountability a small peer-managed house is built on. Bathrooms, house meetings and the day-to-day rhythm all serve one population, and the size keeps the weekly cost lower than a house with its own live-in staff usually runs.
What Moms And Dads Against Meth Publishes About the Program
The operator states four things it expects of the household: accountability and responsibility, peer-to-peer fellowship and support, respect for self and others, and change today for a better tomorrow. Those commitments describe a house built on residents holding each other to a standard. Sober living skills and educational experiences sit alongside the peer support, both aimed at the return to family and community that follows a stay here.
State Registration for This Polk County Recovery Residence
The house is registered with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, whose recovery residence registry lists each home with its city and its registered capacity. Registration is a public, checkable record. Certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing is a separate voluntary standard that this house does not currently hold, and it is worth asking any Wisconsin sober living home which of the two records it carries.
Medication-Assisted Recovery at This Sober Living Home
The registry records that medication-assisted treatment is accepted here. A woman on buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone can move in and keep the prescription that is stabilizing her, and in a five-bed house that policy settles a question the residents would otherwise have to work out among themselves.
Recovery Housing Along the St. Croix Valley
St. Croix Falls sits at the Minnesota crossing in Polk County, with Balsam Lake as the county seat a short drive inland. The river corridor is thinly populated, and recovery housing for women in this part of northwestern Wisconsin is scarce enough that a five-bed house here serves a pull area well beyond the town itself. Women leaving treatment in the St. Croix Valley or crossing over from the Minnesota side of the river tend to look at St. Croix Falls first, because it keeps them close to a support network they already know.
Butterfly House provides opportunities for accountability and responsibility in addition to serving as a “bridge†between inpatient treatment, incarceration or homelessness, and independence in the community.
