About this Recovery House
Highlands Restoration And Wellness LLC - Women's is a women's recovery residence in Superior, Wisconsin, in Douglas County, registered with the state for eight residents since March 2024. It is the operator's women's house in a city where women's recovery housing is otherwise almost absent.
A Women's Sober House in Far Northern Wisconsin
Across the northern tier of Wisconsin, a woman leaving treatment often finds the nearest women's recovery housing is in Eau Claire, the Twin Cities or further. Eight beds in Superior changes that calculation entirely. The single-gender household settles the questions that matter first: shared space and bathrooms serve one population, house expectations are written for one group, and a woman is not the only one in a building of men. For women working toward reunification with children, staying in the county where the case is open is often the deciding factor.
Structure and Length of Stay in This Recovery Home
Residents stay three to twelve months. Screening for drugs and alcohol continues throughout, the operator connects residents to classes and educational opportunities, and a licensed therapist supports the program. The range is the point. Three months covers stabilization and a job. Twelve covers a credential, a savings balance and a plan for the address that comes next.
What Is Included in This Sober Living Home's Fee
Utilities, internet, household supplies, hygiene items, bus passes and programming are all covered by the program fee. Hygiene items and bus passes are small line items that decide a great deal for a woman arriving with a bag and no income. A transit pass in the Superior and Duluth port area opens work on both sides of the harbor.
State Registration for This Douglas County Recovery Residence
The house is registered with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, which publishes the state's recovery residence registry with each house's city and registered capacity. Registration is a public record. Certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing is a separate, voluntary standard that this house does not carry, and knowing which of the two an address holds is worth asking about anywhere in the state.
Medication-Assisted Recovery Is Accepted Here
Women on prescribed medication for opioid use disorder can live in this house. In a region with few prescribers, losing housing over a prescription usually means losing the prescription as well, and this residence does not put a woman in that position.
Sober Living in Superior and the Twin Ports
Superior is the Douglas County seat, at the western tip of Lake Superior across the harbor from Duluth. The county courthouse, health and human services, the University of Wisconsin-Superior and the technical college are all in the city, and the two-state port economy supplies work in shipping, health care, retail and the trades. For women in the far northwest of Wisconsin, this is where recovery housing, services and employment overlap.
