Lac Courie Oreilles Band Of Lake Superior Chippewa

About Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa

The Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa is a sober living operator in Hayward, Wisconsin, running recovery housing in Sawyer County. The Band operates its recovery residence as a program of tribal government.

A Tribal Government Sober Living Operator

Recovery housing run directly by a tribal government is uncommon in Wisconsin's directory of sober living operators, most of which are private companies or nonprofits. The Band funds and oversees its housing through its own governmental structure, giving it a different accountability chain than a state-certified or DHS-registered private operator.

Recovery Housing for Men in Hayward

The Band's residential program houses men working through a structured, phase-based recovery model, with expectations that build in stages over roughly four months. Clinical treatment and case management are coordinated separately, with the housing providing the stable, structured environment a phased program depends on.

How This Program Differs From a Private Operator

The Band runs this housing as a tribal government program and is not required to certify through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing or register with the state Department of Health Services. Its own published program materials serve the same disclosure function those lists provide elsewhere.

Serving Sawyer County and the Northwoods

Hayward is the seat of Sawyer County and the largest population center in Wisconsin's Northwoods region. The Band's program serves men from across that largely rural area, where treatment and housing resources are otherwise thin on the ground.

Reaching the Lac Courte Oreilles Band

A tribal member, a family member or an outside case manager applies through the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa directly. The Band's own program materials outline what admission and the phase structure require.
