The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has included Manitowoc’s Lighthouse Recovery Community Center in its $10 million award to three opioid treatment and recovery support services within the state. The money is intended to support construction of spaces designed to provide treatment and recovery support services for women.
The Lighthouse Recovery Community Center will use its $180,000 portion of the money to create space focused on supporting pregnant women and mothers in need of safe and stable housing for their families while they participate in outpatient treatment. According to the announcement, the expansion will be able to house up to seven women at one time when renovations are completed on an existing building in Manitowoc in 2024.
Other projects in the award were:
$4,910,000 to the Arbor Place in Menomonie to build the first residential treatment facility in western Wisconsin open to supporting pregnant women and mothers with space for up to 20 at a time, and;
$4,910,000 to the Meta House of Glendale which will add to an existing residential treatment program that’s open to all women, but which currently has a wait list for admission. When completed in 2024, that program will be able to serve 60 more women.
