Milestone

Milestone is an MN Department of Health licensed Board & Lodge facility owned and operated by Recovery Center.  The facility is completely separate from the outpatient treatment program.  Residents are required to attend outpatient treatment to be eligible to live there and can attend any program of their choice.  Milestone is paid through Housing Support funding for those that are income eligible or by self-payment.  Residents are required to meet with staff to determine appropriate funding source.  Milestone is not billed through insurance and is not a treatment service.  Food and basic needs are provided for all residents.

Milestone has on-site 24/7 awake staff to ensure safety and well-being of the facility and residents.  There are strict guidelines to adhere to and there is zero tolerance for violence or substance use.  Residents are required to learn independent life skills during their time at Milestone.  They are required to be engaged in a minimum of 20 hours a week of meaningful activity such as volunteering, working or attending school.  The program is designed to foster self-sufficiency, eliminate homelessness and reduce dependency upon various systems.

Children are welcome to visit Milestone but are not allowed to stay overnight or live there.  Fraternizing is greatly discouraged and grounds for eviction.  There are separate floors, laundry rooms and common areas for men and women to reduce fraternizing.  Smoking/vaping is permitted in designated areas only.  Healthy meals are provided, and residents are responsible for preparing their own with staff supervision.  Residents manage their own personal needs, money and medication with staff support.
