The Lilly Pad Recovery

About The Lilly Pad Recovery

The Lilly Pad Recovery is a women's sober living operator in West Palm Beach, Florida, in Palm Beach County, run directly by its two founders, Ceecee and Malaki.

An Owner-Operated Women's Recovery Housing Provider

With no larger company or board standing behind it, every decision at this operator, admissions, fees, discipline and discharge, runs through the same two people who founded it. That kind of direct ownership means a resident or family dealing with a question gets an answer from someone with full authority to give one.

A Philosophy Built Around Adult Responsibility

The founders describe their goal as giving residents room to function as adults again instead of having every decision managed for them, a philosophy that shows up in how much autonomy the house structure allows once baseline rules are met. Families weighing a more hands-on program against a more independence-oriented one should ask directly how that balance plays out day to day.

Operating Inside Palm Beach County's Recovery Corridor

West Palm Beach sits at the center of one of the densest recovery communities in the country, and an owner-operated house here competes for residents against a large number of bigger, multi-property companies. That density cuts both ways for a small operator: more competition for referrals, but also a large pool of outpatient providers, twelve-step meetings and sober-friendly employers that any resident here can draw on regardless of house size.

Reaching the Owners Directly

Worth asking Ceecee and Malaki directly: how the weekly fee structure works and what happens if a payment is missed, how the sleep-out and curfew policies are enforced in practice, and whether the house currently holds certification through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences. A small, owner-run operator should be able to answer all three without checking with anyone else.
