About Butterfly House
Set in a neighborhood near the St. Croix River, Butterfly House operates as a sober living residence for women ages 18+ recovering from substance use disorder (SUD). They serve as a step between inpatient care, incarceration, or homelessness and independent living, using structure, accountability, and daily responsibilities to help residents stay sober and rebuild healthy routines.
Structured Recovery with Daily Accountability
Butterfly House requires residents to attend daily 12-Step meetings, meet weekly with a sponsor, and complete relapse prevention and drug education work. Women living at Butterfly House are expected to maintain full-time jobs and complete assigned chores. Peer interaction shapes daily life, as residents share practical strategies, hold each other accountable, and work through challenges tied to addiction recovery.
Resident Life and Environment
Residents live together in a shared home with set expectations for work, chores, and participation in activities. They complete community service and practice life skills like budgeting, time management, gardening, and home maintenance. Free time includes crafts, journaling, and group activities, along with seasonal outdoor recreation such as hiking, fishing, skiing, and canoeing.
