Greetings Meta House Supporter!
We are excited to announce that Meta House will soon be moving its administrative and outpatient offices, currently located on Milwaukee’s East Side, to the Riverwest neighborhood. The new location is a vacant school, adjacent to the two buildings that make up our Residential Treatment Program for women struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, and their children. The move will make it possible for us to: provide a campus-like setting for our programs; secure more space at a lower cost per square foot; and expand the number of women and children served by merging programs. For more information about the move, please visit our website at www.metahouse.org.

Have Lunch on Us!
You’re Invited: Meta Moments – Building Advocates through Recovery
Post addiction, many women develop a resolve to give back some of what they have gained through their recovery. Some contribute financially and visit local institutions to empower others about embracing the road to recovery. Others use their stories to raise awareness about the effectiveness of substance abuse treatment.
Come hear a Meta House graduate talk about how she is using her voice to make a difference for other women, and how you can help raise awareness about treatment and recovery in our community.
This casual event is free and open to the public. An RSVP is appreciated as there will be a lunch provided.
Call 414-977-5807.
Walk-ins welcome.
