Impact WI - The Lilac House

Built on the belief that structure, honesty, and shared responsibility can change the course of someone’s life, this home offers women a steady place to reset and rebuild after substance use. Impact WI - The Lilac house is designed for those new to recovery who need clear expectations and consistent support, using a rule-based environment to help residents regain stability and direction.

Structure and Accountability

Life in the home follows a clear set of house rules that guide daily behavior and decision-making. New residents begin with a structured level of supervision, including early curfews, restricted movement, and required approval for activities outside of work or recovery meetings. These boundaries help reduce distractions and create space for new habits to take hold. Residents attend multiple recovery meetings each week, stay connected with their sponsor, and track how they spend their time. The Lilac House uses a point and privilege system that allows women to earn more independence as they demonstrate responsibility. The program takes a firm but practical approach to relapse. Residents are not removed for relapse alone, but for dishonesty, reinforcing trust and accountability within the home.

Daily Routines and Responsibilities

Daily life feels structured but familiar, centered around routines that mirror real-world expectations. Residents wake up early, complete chores like cleaning or yard work, and share responsibility for maintaining the household. Phone use, visitors, and time outside the home are earned as trust builds over time. As residents progress, they begin working, attending school, or volunteering while continuing to meet program expectations. The Lilac House serves as a bridge between treatment and independent living, helping women build consistency, follow through on commitments, and develop habits that support long-term recovery.
