Beacon House Aha Friends Of Women In Recovery

About Friends of Women in Recovery, Inc.

Friends of Women in Recovery, Inc. is a sober living operator in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, running two women's recovery homes in Fond du Lac County under the Beacon House name.

A Fond du Lac Recovery Housing Provider for Women and Mothers

The organization runs its housing specifically for women and mothers recovering from substance use, built around a single policy that shapes everything else: a woman does not have to give up her baby's placement to enter treatment.

Two Homes Serving Fond du Lac

Friends of Women in Recovery operates two residences in the city:

• Beacon House, in Fond du Lac.
• Willow Way, also in Fond du Lac.

Both houses serve the same population under the same rules, which means a transfer between them does not mean starting over with a new provider.

Keeping Mothers and Children Together

Letting babies remain with their mothers on site is the organization's defining structural choice, and it distinguishes Friends of Women in Recovery from most sober living providers in the state, where a woman with a young child often has nowhere to go that accepts both of them.

Public Records Behind This Sober Living Operator

Wisconsin does not license recovery residences. Certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing is voluntary and is the closest public record available, binding a certified operator to a code of ethics, disclosed fees, and outside complaint review.

Serving Fond du Lac County

Fond du Lac is the seat of Fond du Lac County and sits at the south end of Lake Winnebago, giving the organization's residents access to the city's courts, outpatient providers and family services in one place.
