Papilion House
Papilion House is a voluntary fellowship which provides transitional housing for women recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. We offer affordable, safe, clean and sober housing to women in all stages of recovery. The idea is to bridge the gap between treatment and independence.Highlights of the Papilion House Program
- All Members have an equal voice in creating a safe and sober environment. All Members are responsible for the household expenses.
- All Members are given privileges and or accountability restrictions for their actions including fees for non-compliance to House Rules.
- There is zero-tolerance for drug or alcohol use, acts of violence, sexual misconduct or immoral behavior.
- All Members must adhere to the House Rules and Expectations.
- All Members, as a unit, form a House Members Forum which governs all aspects of House Rules and compliance.
Members of Papilion House are required to be productive members of society. They must either be employed, or they must be actively seeking employment or performing community service with an approved agency. Productive use of time promotes progress towards self-sufficiency. Our goal is to have every member employed within their first week of occupancy. We aim to do this by offering resume preparation and interview skills workshops. We have formed relationships with employers in the area that are eager to work with our clients regardless of past employment or criminal history.
All Members are equally responsible for keeping their house and yard clean and tidy. This is accomplished by assigning chores to all household Members.
The Papilion House Program embraces the 12-step concept as taught in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. We hold that Sponsors are an integral element in sobriety. Members are therefore required to have a sponsor and they are required to “work the program”. They will be encouraged to maintain a strong, active relationship with their Sponsor.
Papilion House is not equipped for anyone needing special medical care of any kind. We are not a medical facility and do not provide medical services of any type.
All members meet with a licensed counselor twice monthly whose services are included in the total monthly residency cost. Other supportive services include life skills training, case management, sober coaching, sober community integration workshops and transportation.
Papilion House has two locations: American Fork, Utah, just north of the American Fork Hospital and in Orem, Utah. Between our two locations, Orem and American Fork, we comfortably house and support up to 16 women. Both houses feature a large kitchen, comfortable common areas and beautiful yard. There are shopping and employment opportunities in the immediate area.
We are very blessed to have local religious organizations support our program. They provide welcome packets, send visitors, provide a weekly dinner, and hold annual service projects to support the houses.
Papilion House is a wonderful place to begin your new life in sobriety. We hope that you will join us.
