SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT FACILITIES IN WISCONSIN
While AA, NA and SMART Recovery meetings can be helpful, they may not be
enough support for someone who is new to the healing process. Quite often,
people who have never been to treatment before learn that they need to get
professional support and help first.
Rehab offers them the assistance they need, and in
Wisconsin, there are many types of rehabilitation programs to choose
from.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL DETOX
Alcohol and drug detox is frequently an essential part of the recovery
process for many people. It all depends on what types of drugs they are
addicted to. People who are abusing alcohol, opioids, stimulants and/or
benzodiazepines may be required to go through the detoxification process.
Detoxing helps to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and prevent complications
from them. There are many detox programs in Wisconsin that may be
recommended, based on the person’s individual needs. They include:
Inpatient Rehab
A lot of people first get help for their addictions by going through
inpatient alcohol and drug rehab. These programs usually last for
about 28 days, and that time period often includes any time spent in
detox as well.
During inpatient rehab, patients participate in several different
types of treatment. They work with their therapist one-on-one, have
group therapy sessions and may receive family therapy. Various other
therapeutic activities may be added as well, depending on the
patient’s treatment plan.
INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT PROGRAMS
Intensive outpatient programs, or IOPs, offer a level of care that is similar to what people
experience during inpatient rehab. The only difference is that people
live at home while receiving treatment. They come to the program 3-5
evenings per week, which allows them more flexibility in their
schedules. Wisconsin has several outpatient programs that offer IOPs.
PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAMS
Partial hospitalization programs offer a higher level of care on an outpatient basis. Often called
PHPs or day treatment programs, they involve coming to treatment as
often as five days per week during the day. There, clients receive
individual and group therapy as well as other therapeutic treatment
options. There are many PHPs available in Wisconsin.

OUTPATIENT THERAPY AND REHABILITATION
Outpatient rehab
and therapy are generally reserved for those who have completed a higher
level of addiction treatment in the past. They usually only involve
individual therapy sessions, although there may be some that also provide
group therapy. Clients may come to appointments as much as three times per
week. There are a lot of practitioners who offer outpatient rehab in
Wisconsin.
