About Highlands Restoration And Wellness, Llc

Highlands Restoration And Wellness, Llc is a sober living operator in Superior, Wisconsin, running six registered recovery residences for men and women in Douglas County. The organization describes over a decade of experience in the field, and it houses residents for stays of three to twelve months with screening, classes and support from a licensed therapist built into the arrangement.

A Superior Recovery Housing Provider at the Head of the Lakes

Six houses in one city is an unusual concentration for far northern Wisconsin, where recovery housing is otherwise scattered across long distances. Superior sits at the western tip of Lake Superior, across the harbor from Duluth, Minnesota, and the two cities function as one labor market and one service area. An operator with six residences here holds most of the recovery housing capacity in Douglas County, and the practical consequence for a resident is that a change of household does not have to mean a change of city, employer or clinic.

Men's and Women's Sober Houses in This Group

The organization houses both adult men and women, in separate residences:

• Highlands Restoration And Wellness LLC - Men's, registered for eight men.
• Highlands Restoration And Wellness - Mens 2, registered for eight men.
• Highlands Restoration And Wellness - Mens 3, registered for four men.
• Highlands Restoration And Wellness LLC - Women's, registered for eight women.
• Highlands Restoration And Wellness 1611, registered for eight residents.
• Highlands Restoration And Wellness - Superior, in the city.

Running the men's and women's houses as separate households means each set of expectations is written for one population, and it lets the operator hold four-bed and eight-bed options at the same time for people who do badly in a crowd.

What the Program Fee Covers in These Recovery Homes

The operator's program fee covers utilities, internet, household supplies, hygiene items, bus passes and the programming itself. Bus passes are the item worth pausing on. In a twin-port city where work is spread across two states and the crossings are bridges, a transit pass is the difference between accepting a shift and turning it down. Bundling hygiene items and household supplies into the fee removes another set of small costs that sink people in their first weeks out of treatment.

Structure Across These Sober Living Homes

Residents stay between three and twelve months. Drug and alcohol screening runs throughout, and the organization connects residents to outside resources, classes and educational opportunities, with support available from a licensed therapist. A twelve month ceiling with a three month floor tells an applicant what the model is built for: enough time to hold a job, finish a course and rebuild a record, with an expected end instead of an open-ended tenancy.

State Registration Behind These Recovery Residences

All six residences are registered with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, whose recovery residence registry records each house, its city and the number of residents it is registered for. Registration is the state's public record of a residence. It is separate from voluntary certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing, which these houses do not hold, and an applicant comparing providers should know which of the two any given operator carries.

Medication-Assisted Recovery Across These Sober Homes

The registered residences accept residents on medication for opioid use disorder. Across Douglas County and the counties east and south of it, prescribers are few and the distances are long, so an established treatment relationship is worth protecting. Housing that accommodates the medication keeps a resident's care and their address in the same place.

Applying to This Douglas County Sober Living Operator

Applications and placement run through the operator, which decides which of the six houses fits an applicant. Questions that belong at this level: how long the organization has housed residents in Superior, whether it accepts referrals from Douglas County human services and the courts, exactly what the program fee includes and what it does not, how deposits are documented and returned, and what happens if a resident needs to move from a larger house to a smaller one partway through a stay.
